Houston Dynamo FC 2025 Season Preview

2025 Schedule

Strength: They’re one of the best in the league at keeping the ball and using it for defensive purposes, forcing the game to be played at their pace and on the parts of the field where they most want it. It’s made them incredibly tough to break down over the past two years.
Weakness: It hasn’t turned into a high-powered attack for one, and for two, they parted with their two most talented players this offseason. Jack McGlynn has massive shoes to fill, as does the as-yet-unnamed new DP No. 10.

Coco Carrasquilla: After four years in Houston, the Panamanian international midfielder was transferred to LIGA MX’s Pumas UNAM for a club-record fee
Steve Clark: Houston’s No. 1 goalkeeper for the past three years had his contract option declined after the 2024 season.
Sebastián Ferreira: The Dynamo and their former club-record signing reached a mutual contract termination. The Paraguayan striker has since joined Argentine side Rosario Central.
Héctor Herrera: Houston enter a new era after moving on from Herrera, the club’s centerpiece over the last two-and-a-half seasons. The Mexican midfielder is back in LIGA MX with Toluca.

Jack McGlynn: The rising USMNT midfielder joins via a blockbuster intra-league trade with the Philadelphia Union; it was the first-ever cash-for-player deal involving a homegrown product.
Júnior Urso: The veteran Brazilian midfielder joins Houston after five seasons in MLS, playing over 100 matches combined for Orlando and Charlotte.
