FC Dallas is set to resume its MLS season this Wednesday, July 22, following the conclusion of the 2026 World Cup. The team will face the Portland Timbers on the road. Dallas currently holds fifth place in the Western Conference with a 7-4-4 record and a +8 goal difference. Under second-year head coach Eric Quill, the club had a strong start, securing three wins and only one loss in their initial six games, despite a challenging schedule featuring Nashville SC, LAFC, and San Diego FC.

Despite a period of inconsistent home form, including draws against St. Louis and LA Galaxy, and a 1-0 home defeat to Minnesota, FC Dallas concluded the first half of the 2026 schedule impressively. They won four out of five matches, securing nine crucial points on the road. This strong finish positions them well for the remainder of the season.
