FC Tulsa is an American professionalsoccer team based inTulsa, Oklahoma which competes in theUSL Championship, the second tier of theAmerican soccer pyramid.
The club was founded asTulsa Roughnecks FC by Jeff and Dale Hubbard, brothers and co-owners of theTulsa Drillers minor league baseball franchise. The Hubbards were announced as co-owners and co-chairs on December 18, 2013.[1][2] Prodigal, LLC., owner ofOklahoma 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 theoriginal Roughnecks which played in theoriginal North American Soccer League from 1978 until the league folded in 1984 (and were best known for winningSoccer 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] Theoil 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 byAdidas.[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 byMatthew Wolff.
On November 15, 2025, FC Tulsa won theUSL Championship 2025 Western Conference Championship title after a 3–0 win overNew Mexico United.[11]
The team plays atONEOK 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 15, 2025, the stadium had a record attendance for soccer of 9,180 for the 2025USL Championship Western Conference Championship game betweenNew Mexico United and FC Tulsa.[12]
FC Tulsa's main rivals areOklahoma City Energy FC in theBlack 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.
