NYCFC History
New York City FC became the 20th franchise in MLS when the club was founded in 2013. The New York area had been home to a team since the founding of MLS in 1996, with the NY/NJ MetroStars (as of 2006, known as Red Bull New York). But for their entire existence, that team has played home matches in neighboring New Jersey.
NYCFC was created to foster a local derby, similar to other large cities around the world, and to finally have a club playing in NYC proper. When NYCFC kicked off in 2015, it was the first time since 1976 a division one pro club called New York City home.
Coincidentally, thanks to the ownership situation of NYCFC, it was in the same spot as decades earlier. NYCFC is a joint venture between City Football Group (Manchester City) and the New York Yankees. The home ground of the lovingly-nicknamed Pigeons is Yankee Stadium, which is where the 1976 Cosmos played.
This arrangement has proven problematic, however. The field dimensions are the smallest in the league, shoehorned into the baseball field. And since the Yankees have priority use, NYCFC often has to relocate home matches. Citi Field (another baseball stadium) in Queens, their rivals’ home ground Red Bull Arena in Harrison, NJ, one CCL game even had to be moved to Los Angeles. The club is expecting to open a new 25,000 seat soccer venue in Queens, adjacent to Citi Field, in 2027.
On the field, NYCFC has been a modest success. They misses the MLS Cup playoffs in year one, but qualified every year after from 2016-2022. In addition, they finished in second place overall twice, and won MLS Cup in 2021, their first major honor. The club followed that up by winning the Campeones Cup in 2022. City reached the quarterfinals of the CONCACAF Champions Cup in 2020, their only appearance to date.
