A name that unites
Mayor David Holt took the podium on a crisp summer evening to reveal the identity of Oklahoma City’s newest professional soccer venture. The franchise will carry the name OKC United, a moniker chosen to echo the city’s spirit of togetherness while signaling its ambition on the world stage.
The club is slated to make its competitive debut in the 2028 season at the soon‑to‑be‑finished MAPS4 Multipurpose Stadium, a venue designed to host a variety of events that bring people together. Construction is on track to be completed before the first kickoff, ensuring a modern backdrop for the team’s inaugural matches.
A place in a growing league
OKC United will compete in the USL Championship, a league that has become one of the most vibrant and successful tiers of American soccer. The division offers a blend of tradition and innovation, providing a platform where emerging talent can flourish alongside seasoned professionals.
Ownership that spans generations
The ownership group reads like a who’s who of Oklahoma’s sports royalty. Among the partners are NBA star Russell Westbrook, former Oklahoma point guard Baker Mayfield, rising NBA guard Jalen Williams, Olympic champion Sydney McLaughlin‑Levrone, and veteran forward Jozy Altidore. Their involvement is intended to blend local passion with global experience, steering the club toward sustainable growth.
Fans can secure a place in the inaugural season through the 1910 Founders Club, a membership program that offers priority access to tickets, exclusive experiences and a share in the club’s early story. Already, more than 3,000 members have signed up, underscoring the community’s enthusiasm.
Beyond the pitch, OKC United promises to deliver access, joy and wellness to the city’s neighborhoods while forging connections that reach far beyond state borders. The club’s vision is to use soccer as a catalyst for community health, youth development and cultural exchange, positioning Oklahoma City as a hub where local pride meets international aspiration.
