The FC Dallas Academy teams started training for the 2025-26 season back in early August, with the season starting up in early September. For these U16s – the second year of emphasis in MLS Next after U18 – they kick off on the 13th against Austin FC.
There doesn’t seem to be any major changes in the MLS Next system this year, but there have been a couple of coaching shifts in the FCD Academy.
FCD listed everyone on the rosters they gave me with their native age groups, so I will do the same here. But we know FCD was aggressive in moving players up last year, and I expect that to continue.
You can meet the U18s here.
And the U17s here.
The U16s are also up,
as are the U15s.
The U14s are here.
FC Dallas U13s – 2013s
Head Coach: Phil Gomez
U13 is when U12 North and U12 South merge, so a large chunk of kids are sent down to ECNL or start looking for other clubs.
Again, no Buzz List, never seen them. Positions are word of mouth or google.
FC Dallas U13 Roster for 2025-26
This roster is official from FC Dallas. Please remember these rosters are subject to change. They can, and do, change! Frequently.
I believe the bulk of these kids are the Class of 2030. Amazing.
