FC Dallas has announced a new four-year contract plus a 2027 option for Homegrown Paxton Pomykal.
“It feels good,” Paxton Pomykal said. “I love being here. With Nico and the rest of the guys, we’re starting something special and I want to be a part of that. That’s why I’m looking forward to the next few years here and bringing titles home.”
The 23-year-old Pomykal played a career-high 35 MLS games during the 2022 season (31 starts and 2 playoff games). Pomykal has made 102 regular season appearances, scoring four goals with 12 assists over his FC Dallas career.
Pomykal earned his third call-up to the USMNT for the 2023 January Camp. He also captained the U.S. Under-20 National Team in the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup.
Out Take: Love it. Pomykal shifted to the linking 8 position – what we feel is his more natural position – following the arrival of Sebastian Lletget toward the end of 2023. Locking up the local homegrown – whose love of FCD shines through – to a long-term deal is good for the club.
Pomykal will be 26 in 2026, the final base year of this new contract.

Really glad to see this done. Was concerned he was running the present deal down before jumping to Europe.
I don’t think this would necessarily prevent any move to Europe before the end of the contract either.
