History

On December 6, 2021, the San Jose Earthquakes were named as one of 21 clubs that would field a team in the new MLS Next Pro league beginning in the 2022 season.[1][2]

On March 11, 2024, the Earthquakes announced that "commercial operations" of their MLS Next Pro team would be taken over by the East Bay-based The Town Group. Earthquakes II was subsequently renamed The Town FC, with the majority of home matches to be played at Saint Mary's Stadium on the campus of Saint Mary's College of California in Moraga, and three home matches in the 2024 season to be played at the team's previous home of PayPal Park in San Jose, California.[3]
