Follow this clubCT United FC is Connecticut's first MLS Next Pro club, the third tier of the American soccer pyramid and MLS's official player-development league. Founded in 2024 and based in Bridgeport, the club is owned by Connecticut Sports Group and made its debut in March 2026.
CT United FC played its first season's home games at three college grounds: UConn's Morrone Stadium in Storrs, Yale's Reese Stadium in New Haven and the University of Bridgeport's Knights Field. The club was announced in 2024 with plans for a waterfront stadium in Bridgeport; after the state passed on funding it, Norwich agreed to lease its Dodd Stadium to the club from 2027. Head coach Shavar Thomas, a former Jamaican national team captain, leads the club's first-team roster and its MLS Next academy program.
