- FC Dallas will host AV Alta FC of USL League One at Toyota Stadium on Wednesday, May 7 at 7:00 pm in a Round of 32 match. The bonus tickets you already have as part of your Season Membership package will be good for this match, and you will see those loaded into your account. All aspects of this match will function like a normal, regular season match.
- It was also announced that FC Dallas will host the Round of 16 match on May 20-21 should FC Dallas advance and the Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC beat New York Red Bull in the Round of 32.
- As a bonus, you will also receive tickets to the Round of 16 and the Round of 8-Quarterfinal matches should FC Dallas host either of those matches. The dates for those matches would be May 20-21 (Round of 16) and July 8-9 (Round of 8-Quarterfinal). Those tickets will be loaded into your accounts as the matches are finalized. For these matches, complimentary parking will be included and the STM concession discounts would apply. Tickets, which normally have inclusive food and beverage components, would not have those provided for these two matches.
- Season Members who use their tickets, or have someone else attend in your place, will be provided a special discount for the U.S. Open Cup Semi-Final and Final matches should FC Dallas host. All Season Members will always receive a preferred rate as compared to the public for all matches, but we want to reward those who support the team in the early rounds by filling your seats with an added discount should the team advance/host in the late rounds.

FC Dallas will enter this year’s Open Cup in the Round of 32.
