As soccer at all levels continues to grow there are now three local teams playing in the National Premier Soccer League: Fort Worth Vaqueros, Denton Diablos, and Dallas City FC. All three clubs play in the Texas-based Lone Star Conference, one of four conferences in the South Region.

Also in the Lone Star Conference are Katy 1895 FC, Laredo Heat SC, Midland-Odessa FC, and Tyler FC. All Lone Star Conference clubs will play a round robin schedule, facing every other team in the conference twice.

The Fort Worth Vaqueros were founded in 2013 and are owned by Michael Hitchcock. Former Dallas Sidekick Nick Stavrou coaches the Vaqueros who play their home games at Fort Worth ISD's Farrington Field.

Dallas City FC, also founded in 2013, is owned by Jacob Tuygun and Talat Papatya. They are coached by former Turkish international Rahim Zafer. Dallas City is moving to a new home for 2019 at the DCFC McKinney Soccer Complex at Craig Ranch in McKinney

The newest local NPSL club is Denton Diablos who begin play in 2019. Co-owned by Damon Gochneaur and Michael Hitchcock, the Diablos will be coached in their inaugural season by Flower Mound Marcus High School Chad Rakestraw and will play their home games at the Mean Green Soccer Stadium on the campus of the University of North Texas.

The round robin schedule means 6 local derby games between the three clubs. The series between Fort Worth Vaqueros and Dallas City is called the Trinity River Cup. The series between Vaqueros and Denton Diablos, as well as Denton and Dallas City, have yet to be named.
