This is the complete list of every player on the FC Dallas and North Texas Soccer Club rosters, as well as every name connected or linked to the two teams.
Origin of the “Roster Dance” name – The Hamster Dance.
Notes
FCD reset back to 8 international slots for 2026. They acquired one for 2026 from LA Galaxy, giving them 10 spots after getting one before from LAFC in the Nkosi Tafari trade.

Supplemental – roster spots 21 to 24
$104,000 salary minimum in 2025. Includes Generation adidas. No age restriction.

I’m listing all the draft picks beyond the top 2 here for now. Most of them will be with NTSC if they don’t go back to school.
New rule: Player 31 is a player who will mostly play for an MLS Next Pro team and still be eligible for Cup games for the MLS side. He can be over the age of 21.
Players beyond 30 have to be Homegrown and are the ones most likely to be with North Texas SC the most.
Off-Roster Homegrowns
This is a new designation for the “extra” Homegrowns signed in MLS. 21 years and under, these players can play in unlimited cup games and up to 6 regular season MLS games without being activated to the 30-man roster.
