Texas Academy League is an independent  league founded by six leading clubs in Texas.

 

Inspired by MLS Next, Texas Academy League will provide its clubs and players the best player development experience, the highest levels of competition offered in Texas, and an easy travel schedule all within the state of Texas.

​

The six founding clubs are:

• AC River

• Capital City Soccer Club

• Dallas Hornets

• GFI Academy

• Houston Rangers

• IDEA Toros
   

The Texas 2 inaugural season kicked off in fall 2024, changing the name prior to the 2025/26 season to further align with the Homegrown and Academy Divisions of MLS NEXT, and we are looking forward to an exceptional 25/26 season. Additionally, high school aged players will have the opportunity to engage in high school soccer, further enriching their developmental journey. Leadership from the founding members will form the technical committee, which will oversee all technical aspects of Texas Academy League.
