FC Dallas will begin their 2015 Lamar Hunt US Open Cup campaign by hosting the winner of the of the Third Round match-up between the Tulsa Roughnecks and the OKC Energy, both of the USL. That game is scheduled to be played on May 27 in Tulsa. The Fourth Round match, where FC Dallas and the other MLS clubs will enter, is tentatively scheduled for June 16.

Earning the home field for this match is important for FC Dallas for a few reasons, not the least of which this game will come in the middle of the team’s longest road trip in franchise history, and international call ups are threatening to take a number of players away from Oscar Pareja over the next 8-10 weeks. The match will be played at TCU’s Garvey-Rosenthal Stadium, according to FC Dallas’ Twitter account.



The Lamar Hunt US Open Cup is recognized by the US Soccer Federation as the National Championship, and the winner earns a berth into the CONCACAF Champions League. FC Dallas won the Open Cup, its only championship, in 1997 when the team was known as the Dallas Burn.
