San Diego FC hosts FC Dallas at Snapdragon Stadium on Saturday, July 25, 2026 at 6:30 p.m. — an MLS regular-season clash, presented by Alaska Airlines, that marks the Chrome and Azul's return to league play after the World Cup break, against a Western Conference rival they beat 5-0 last season.
It's a marquee night for San Diego's young MLS club — and it's perfect for soccer fans, families looking for an affordable, all-ages outing, and anyone who wants to be part of the electric home crowd at one of the league's best new venues.
This is San Diego FC's welcome-back match following the FIFA World Cup break — a chance for the home crowd to roar the Chrome and Azul back into MLS action.
The opponent makes it spicy: FC Dallas is a Western Conference foe with recent history against SDFC. San Diego dismantled Dallas 5-0 at home in 2025 — the club's biggest win of its inaugural season — while the two also played a tight 3-2 result. Expect a competitive, contrasting-styles matchup with real standings implications.
Snapdragon Stadium has quickly become one of the best soccer atmospheres in the country, and San Diego FC matchdays bring a passionate, flag-waving energy. The supporters' section roars from the north end (between sections 136 and 140), and a 6:30 p.m. kickoff means the energy builds through the early evening.
On a matchday:
Saturday, July 25, 2026 — kickoff at 6:30 p.m. PT
Location: Snapdragon Stadium, 2101 Stadium Way, San Diego, CA 92108.
Snapdragon sits in Mission Valley at the SDSU Mission Valley campus, with freeway access off I-8 and I-15 and a stop on the MTS Trolley Green Line — one of the easiest big venues in the city to reach without driving.
San Diego FC is the city's MLS club — an expansion team co-owned by the Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation that made an immediate splash. In their inaugural 2025 season, the Chrome and Azul finished as the #1 seed in the Western Conference and made a deep MLS Cup playoff run — one of the most successful expansion debuts in league history. Led by head coach Mikey Varas and standout scorer Anders Dreyer, SDFC has rapidly built one of the most exciting young rosters and fan bases in the league.
A few specific reasons this match is worth your Saturday:
1. It's the welcome-back match. SDFC's return from the World Cup break brings extra buzz.
2. There's history with Dallas. A Western Conference rival SDFC beat 5-0 last year.
