FC Dallas to compete in the 2025 US Open Cup
Major League Soccer today announced MLS club qualification criteria for official North American cup competitions during the 2025 and 2026 seasons, and the 2025 participants. The four tournaments — the Concacaf Champions Cup, Leagues Cup, Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, and Canadian Championship – provide important opportunities for clubs to compete for championships outside of MLS play.
FC Dallas will compete in the 2025 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. FC Dallas is one of 16 MLS clubs that will enter the competition in the Round of 32, scheduled for Tuesday, May 6 and Wednesday, May 7.
The 16 participating MLS teams were determined as follows:
- Only U.S.-based clubs are eligible to participate in the U.S. Open Cup.
- MLS teams not competing in either Leagues Cup or Concacaf Champions Cup automatically qualify for the Open Cup. For the 2025 edition, this accounts for nine of the 16 MLS teams.
- The remaining teams are determined by Supporters’ Shield standings, excluding teams competing in the Concacaf Champions Cup. For the 2025 edition of the Open Cup, this accounts for seven of the 16 MLS teams.
“FC Dallas is proud to compete in the 2025 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, a tournament that embodies the legacy and passion our father had for soccer in the United States,” FC Dallas President Dan Hunt said. “This competition is a celebration of the sport’s incredible history in our country, and we are looking forward to competing for another Lamar Hunt U. S. Open Cup trophy.”
The 2025 edition of the U.S. Open Cup will feature 15 other Major League Soccer clubs in addition to Dallas: Atlanta United FC, Charlotte FC, D.C. United, New York City FC, New York Red Bulls, Nashville SC, New England Revolution, Orlando City SC, Philadelphia Union, Austin FC, Houston Dynamo FC, Minnesota United FC, Portland Timbers, San Jose Earthquakes, and St. Louis CITY SC, along with 10 MLS NEXT Pro sides.
The Open Cup, which begins first-round play on Tuesday, March 18, will be the 110th edition of the competition, making it the longest-running soccer tournament in the United States. The knockout-style competition crowns U.S. soccer’s national champion from a field featuring professional clubs and affiliated amateur teams that meet eligibility requirements.

Trackdown: Dallas 7-Eleven robbery suspect wanted
DALLAS – Dallas police need a name for a dangerous robber who pulled a gun on a 7-Eleven clerk and walked out with the cash register drawer.
He was caught on camera. But it’s been six months, and he’s still at large.
7-Eleven Robberies
What we know:
The robbery in question happened on Jan. 13 around 10:30 p.m. at the store at 302 North Marsalis Avenue.
A Black male who is about 5 feet 8 inches tall and about 170 to 180 pounds walked in and waited until no other customers were inside.
“After it’s empty, he displays a handgun and points it at the cashier,” said Det. Eduardo Lopez Villa. “I don’t know what he said. He just demanded the cash from the cash register.”
Det. Villa said the suspect took the whole cash register drawer before fleeing eastbound on foot on 8th Street.

Dallas weather: Flash flooding strands vehicles near DFW Airport after heavy rain
DALLAS – Slow-moving thunderstorms brought localized flash flooding to parts of North Texas on Tuesday evening, blocking highways near Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport and dropping several inches of rain in portions of Tarrant and Parker counties.
Flash Flood Warnings
Local perspective:
Flash flood warnings are in effect for Hopkins, Hunt, Rains and Van Zandt counties until 7:45 p.m.
Flooding was reported along Texas 183 near Valley View Lane south of DFW Airport, where stranded vehicles and water-covered roadways created hazardous travel conditions.
A flash flood warning remained in effect near the airport, although rainfall rates had begun to diminish as the storm weakened.
Severe Thunderstorm Warnings
The National Weather Service also issued a severe thunderstorm warning for northern Hood County, citing the potential for gusty winds and small hail. Forecasters reported hail ranging from pea-sized to marble-sized in parts of Hood, Parker and Denton counties.
Forecasters attributed the weakening storms in Denton County to an outflow boundary, a meteorological feature that can disrupt thunderstorm development.
The warning area was reduced as the storm weakened near sunset.
LIVE RADAR
What they’re saying:
FOX 4’s Kylie Capps said the storms moved unusually slowly from east to west, allowing heavy rain to accumulate over the same areas for several hours.
Rainfall estimates showed some locations in eastern Parker County and western Tarrant County received nearly 5 inches of rain during a six-hour period, while areas near DFW Airport recorded more than 2 inches.
Elsewhere in North Texas, northern Rains County received nearly 5 inches of rain.
7-Day Forecast
What’s next:
Forecasters expect a quieter overnight period, with only isolated showers lingering into the evening. Additional thunderstorms are possible Wednesday afternoon, though coverage and the threat of severe weather are expected to remain limited.
Temperatures are forecast to reach about 90 degrees Wednesday.
Rain chances are expected to continue through the remainder of the workweek and into the weekend as an upper-level low-pressure system sends multiple disturbances across North Texas.
