Brooklyn Football Club is an American professional soccer club based in Brooklyn, New York City, that competes in the USL Super League (USLS). Founded in 2023, the club began playing in 2024 and also fields a men's team in the USL Championship (USLC).
On June 8, 2023, the United Soccer League announced that North Sixth Group had been granted a USL League One expansion team in Brooklyn, to start play in the 2025 season, with a women's and youth team to follow.
USMNT International Timothy Weah joined the ownership group on May 28, 2024.
At its founding, the club announced that in addition to its men's team, it intended to field a women's team in the USL Super League. The Super League is a Division One league, representing the top level of women's soccer in the United States, and began play in August 2024. It was reported in late 2023 that a women's team would be established in 2025, which would be for the Super League's second season. However, on February 9, 2024, the USL announced that Brooklyn FC's women's team would be one of the Super League's inaugural eight teams.
The league released its season schedule on May 30, 2024, establishing the club's inaugural match would be on Saturday, August 31, a home game against Carolina Ascent FC.
Brooklyn FC announced on May 17, 2024, that they had signed the first-ever player in club history, Puerto Rican national team goalkeeper Sydney Martinez.
Due to unspecified issues with the playing surface being laid down at Maimonides Park, the club postponed its inaugural match, announcing that the club's first home match would instead be September 25, 2024, against Dallas Trinity FC.
The club's name and logo, designed by British-based designer Christopher Payne, were unveiled on November 9, 2023. The limestone color is a reference to the Brooklyn Bridge which is represented in the logo, and the brown color reflects the brownstone buildings seen across the borough.
The badge and identity will be used by all Brooklyn FC teams. The club originally announced a kit deal with Kappa, but after the ownership group acquired a stake in manufacturer Diaza, the contract was transferred.
