History

Reno previously fielded a team in the USL Championship, Reno 1868 FC based at Greater Nevada Field, from 2017 to 2020. [2] In October 2025, the United Soccer League (USL) awarded an expansion team to the city of Reno, Nevada. [3] [4] [5] The ownership group includes Todd Davis, Wendy Damonte, Bob Enzenberger and John Doyle. [6] [7]

Proposed stadium

The club proposes to play on the grounds of a new 6000-seater stadium, [8] expected to cost approximately $80m, [5] which is planned for development on the former site of a car dealership. [9] [10]

The stadium is proposed be part of a larger sports and entertainment district. As of October 2025, groundbreaking was planned for early 2026, with completion proposed for March 2027. [11] [12] A pre-demolition auction was held to clear the way for demolition of the former Jones-West Ford dealership on December 9, 2025. [13]
