FC Dallas Rivalries
Like any charter club, FC Dallas has had plenty of time to whip up some rivalries with other clubs in the MLS. Here are a few of the team’s more prominent rivalries:
FC Dallas vs. Houston Dynamo FC
Known as the Texas Derby, this rivalry is one of the fiercest in MLS, fueled by geographic proximity and state pride. The two teams compete for the El Capitán trophy, a Civil War-era cannon awarded to the season’s winner. Since both teams have been part of MLS for many years, the rivalry has featured numerous heated and memorable encounters.
FC Dallas won’t face the Houston Dynamo again this season.
FC Dallas vs. Austin FC
This is a more recent rivalry, but it has quickly intensified since Austin FC joined MLS in 2021. The rivalry, often dubbed the Copa Tejas, adds another layer to the competition between Texas clubs, with all three MLS teams (Austin, Dallas and Houston) vying for supremacy in the state.
FC Dallas won’t play against Austin FC again this season, either.
