Name, Colors, and Badge

The club is the third team to use the Cleveland Force name, which was previously used by the Cleveland Force of the original Major Indoor Soccer League from 1978 to 1988, and was later revived by the Cleveland Crunch during their final four seasons (2001–2005). The name is a reference to the Force from the Star Wars film franchise, the first film of which was released the year prior to the original Force's inaugural season.

Like the original Force, the club's colors are blue and yellow.

Stadium

Both the men's and women's first teams currently play their home games at Krenzler Field, a 1,680-seat soccer venue on the campus of Cleveland State University.
