Houston FC was the first Houston-based club to join USL League Two (then known as the PDL) in 2017. Each year since—excluding 2020—we have fielded a team, with our best season finishing as runners-up in the division.

We recruit most of our players from collegiate and post-collegiate clubs, but we also bring in a select few high school players from our academy. Information about trials can be found under the events tab on our website.

Several former players have gone onto to play in higher leagues such as MLS (Bryant Farkarlun and Tanner Hummel), USL Championship (Ollie Wright and Daltyn Knutson), Maltese Premier League (David Brown), and Faroe Islands Premier League (Joel Vazquez).

USL League Two is the leader in pre-professional soccer in North America. The League holds a vital role as it continues to provide the elite platform for those pursuing professional careers domestically and internationally. Throughout the United States and Canada, League Two franchises continue to provide top pre-professional players the opportunity to train and compete at the highest level while maintaining their collegiate eligibility. With ownership of teams coming from the likes of USL franchises as well as leading business and sports individuals, League Two serves as the leading development platform for the game both on and off the field.

League Two is more than the leading national pre-professional league. League Two is the defined and proven pathway for players to progress to the ranks of professional soccer, while its clubs become fixtures in the communities where they operate.

USL League Two regular season takes place during the summer from early May to mid-July. Each team plays at least 12 regular season games within their division, splitting the number of home and away matches. Each division winner qualifies for the playoffs, as well as the second-place team of select division. The playoffs are split into conferences and occur in late July, culminating in the League Two Final in early August.
