FC Tulsa is an American professional soccer team based in Tulsa, Oklahoma which competes in the USL Championship, the second tier of the American soccer pyramid.
History
The club was founded as Tulsa Roughnecks FC by Jeff and Dale Hubbard, brothers and co-owners of the Tulsa Drillers minor league baseball franchise. The Hubbards were announced as co-owners and co-chairs on December 18, 2013.[1][2] Prodigal, LLC., owner of Oklahoma City Energy FC, another USL club, served as a minority owner.[3][4]
On February 26, 2014, it was announced that the team would be known as Tulsa Roughnecks FC, paying homage to the original Roughnecks which played in the original North American Soccer League from 1978 until the league folded in 1984 (and were best known for winning Soccer Bowl '83).[5] The name received nearly 50% of the votes in a "name the team" contest held in February 2014.
The team logo, colors and uniforms were introduced on September 2, 2014.[6] The oil derrick in the original logo, as well as the name of the team, was a reference to Tulsa's "Oil Capitol" heritage; the dictionary definition of a "roughneck" is a worker in an oil-well drilling crew.[7] The team colors are Orange and Navy Blue with all kits supplied by Adidas.[8]
On August 20, 2019, it was announced that the Craft family, composed of Tulsa natives and brothers JW, Ryan, and Kyle Craft, had acquired the club from the Drillers and Prodigal Soccer.[9]
On December 4, 2019, the club announced that it would be renamed as FC Tulsa beginning with the 2020 season.[10] The team's new logo was designed by Matthew Wolff.
On November 15, 2025, FC Tulsa won the USL Championship 2025 Western Conference Championship title after a 3–0 win over New Mexico United.[11]
Stadium
Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote".
The team plays at ONEOK Field, a 7,833-seat stadium in the Greenwood District of Downtown Tulsa. The field opened in 2010 and was made the FC Tulsa's home in 2015.
In order to transform the field from a baseball field to a soccer pitch, real sod is laid down atop the entire infield and the pitch stretches the length of the stadium, with one goal on the North side of the pitch and the other on the South side.
On November 22, 2025, the team set the stadium attendance record 9,507, for the nationally-televised USL Championship Final between FC Tulsa and Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC.)[12]
Club culture
FC Tulsa's main rivals are Oklahoma City Energy FC in the Black Gold Derby, with both teams being located in Oklahoma. The supporters group of both teams established a trophy, a four-foot wrench painted with the colors of each team on either side, which is awarded to the regular season winner of the derby.
83UNITED are the only supporters group recognized by the club.[13] There are two unofficial supporters groups: Tulsa Lunatics and 918 Brigade.
FC Tulsa also shares a local derby with Tulsa Athletic, with both teams playing in Tulsa. While the teams have played in preseason, they can only meet in official competition during the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, which has now happened three times:
