Brooklyn FC (2026)
American soccer club
Brooklyn Football Club is an American professional soccer club based in Brooklyn, New York City, that competes in the USL Championship (USLC). Founded in 2023, the club began play in 2026, and has fielded a women's team in the USL Super League (USLS) since 2024.
History
On June 8, 2023, the United Soccer League announced that North Sixth Group had been granted a USL League One expansion team in Brooklyn, to start play in the 2025 season, with a women's and youth team to follow.
North Sixth Group specializes in purchasing and developing lower-tier soccer clubs. In addition to Brooklyn FC, it owns fifth-tier Swiss club FC Locarno, Serie C side ASD Campobasso 1919, and a stake in Serie C club Ascoli Calcio. USMNT International Timothy Weah joined the ownership group on May 28, 2024.
The men's team was announced to begin in the third division USL League One in 2025, with an option to move up to the second-division USL Championship by 2028, if certain benchmarks were met. On March 7, 2024, New York City-based soccer outlet Hudson River Blue reported that the team would, in a change of plans, begin directly in the USL Championship for the 2025 season, which was confirmed by USL a week later. In December 2024, that debut was pushed back to the 2026 season.
On 8 December 2025, the club announced the appointment of Marlon LeBlanc, formerly head coach with Philadelphia Union II, as first head coach of its men's team for the inaugural season.

Why this record matters
The phrase “american soccer club” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q138240237. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2023, 2026, 2024 and 2025.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
