Overview Brooklyn FC is the borough's professional soccer club, playing its men's and women's matches inside a Coney Island ballpark with the Wonder Wheel rising over the outfield wall. The women joined the Gainbridge Super League, a U.S. Soccer-sanctioned Division One league, for its first season in 2024; the men joined the USL Championship in 2026. The two seasons overlap, so the club plays across most of the year. The limestone-and-brown crest is for the Bridge and the brownstones. Matchday Maimonides Park sits on the boardwalk, and because the pitch is laid inside a ballpark the advertising runs around the outfield wall, under the roller coaster and the Wheel. Gates open ninety minutes before kickoff on Surf Avenue at the northwest corner, and for some matches off the boardwalk at the southwest. The D, F, N and Q stop at Coney Island-Stillwell, five minutes' walk away, and five bus routes run nearby. The ground is largely cashless, and the supporters' section is behind the goal. Audience Away from the ground, the club keeps an official list of sixteen bars that show every match, home or away - fourteen across Brooklyn from Bay Ridge to Greenpoint, and two in Manhattan. Talent and Influencers Timothy Weah, the United States international, joined the ownership group in 2024. Marlon LeBlanc was appointed to run the men's team at the end of 2025, after Philadelphia Union II. The first player the club ever signed was the goalkeeper Sydney Martinez, a Puerto Rico international. Track record The women played the Gainbridge Super League's first two seasons and finished fifth in the second. The club runs the Brooklyn Football Foundation and community partnerships with Brooklyn City F.C. and The Footy League. Brand presence The club sorts its partners into four classes: corporate, performance, community and league. Performance covers the medical and training side and the kit, which New Balance began supplying to both teams in 2026. The shirt front is the biggest position on that kit, above the crest and the maker's mark, and it is the same spot on the men's shirt and the women's. Around it run the boards on the ballpark wall, the video board above them and a presenting position on individual matches, across two seasons that overlap.
