We anticipate the following timelines and details for the 2026 Season Member fan experience.
1. We expect the MLS league schedule to follow the approximate timeline below. The exact schedule for 2026 will be released by the end of the calendar year.
- MLS season to begin in early February and run through mid/late May
- MLS to take a break from mid/late May to mid-July for the 2026 FIFA World Cup
- MLS to resume in mid-July through November with MLS Cup Playoffs to follow.
2. The 2026 Season Member experience will be split into two parts, Pre-World Cup and Post-World Cup.
Pre-World Cup - The FC Dallas Season Member experience will be exactly what it currently is for the 2025 season. We expect to play 8-10 matches in this window.
When the MLS regular season schedule resumes Post-World Cup break, FC Dallas is expected to play a series of road matches and will not host home matches from mid-July through August 31.
Post-World Cup - Beginning on September 1, the fan experience on the west side of Toyota Stadium will shift to the east side with the new east side stadium construction being complete. We will then play the remaining 2026 regular season matches and playoffs in this construct:
- New Expanded Concourse
