With the MLS regular season done and dusted but two weeks until FC Dallas hosts Portland in the first round of the playoffs, how should we fill that time?
For now, let’s take a look at some of the records and streaks Eric Quill’s team broke during the 2026 season.
Team Records
Most Road Wins & Points
FC Dallas are known as the Road Dawgs for a reason. The squad accumulated seven wins and 26 points – both club records in the post-shootout era – on its travels in 2026. The club’s seven road wins were tied for the second-most in the Western Conference. The 26-point total bested the previous record of 23 that Quill's men collected during the 2025 campaign.
Most Goals in a Season
Scoring goals is the hardest thing to do in soccer but FC Dallas made it look relatively easy in 2026. The team averaged nearly two goals per game after finding the back of the net 62 times, an all-time club record, over 34 games (1.82 goals per game). In all, sixteen different players scored at least one goal this season.
Third-Most Points in a Season
FC Dallas was one win away from setting its all-time points record. With a 16-8-10 overall record, the team racked up 58 points – just two shy of the club’s record of 60 which it achieved in back-to-back campaigns in 2015 and 2016. The last time Dallas reached 60 points, it won the MLS Supporters’ Shield for the best record in the league. This year, Nashville SC lifted the Shield after setting an all-time MLS points record of 77 (!!!).
Winning Record both Home and Away
With a 9-3-5 home and 7-5-5 away records, FC Dallas finished the campaign with winning records in both categories for the first time since 2010 – the year of the club’s only MLS Cup appearance. In 2010, Schellas Hyndman’s team had an impressive 8-1-6 home record while scraping a 4-3-8 away record. And although eight draws is a lot, they helped keep the team’s road record above .500.
Individual Records
Single-Season Scoring Record
One of the main storylines of 2026 was Petar Musa’s quest for FC Dallas’ single-season scoring record, originally set at 18 by Jason Kreis during his 1999 MVP campaign. Eighteen had proved a difficult bar to raise as Kenny Cooper (2018), Jesús Ferreira (2022) and Musa (2025) himself had all reached 18 without besting it. That was until this year when Musa surged past it with 22 goals in 30 games. In honor of his achievement, the club gifted the Croatian his own pair of personalized cowboy boots.
Highest Scoring Duo
Musa wasn’t the only player contributing on the scoresheet. Logan Farrington, his very accomplished strike partner, also recorded a career-high 10 goals this campaign. With 32 goals together, the pair became the club’s all-time highest scoring duo – passing Jesús Ferreira (18) and Paul Arriola’s (10) combined tally of 28 from 2022.
Streak Breakers
While not exactly a record, per se, Eric Quill’s team also put an end to some long-running unwanted streaks. Prior to this season, FC Dallas hadn’t won away against the New York Red Bulls since 2006, hadn’t won away at the Colorado Rapids since 2014 and hadn’t beat the San Jose Earthquakes on the road since 2016. Dallas put an end to all those streaks in the same month by defeating RBNY 2-0 on May 2, San Jose 3-2 on May 16 and Colorado 2-1 on May 23. In doing so, the club registered its first three-game road winning streak since 2005.
