FC Dallas vs. San Jose Earthquakes: Kickoff, TV, Injuries and Suspensions

Updated October 24, 2026: FC Dallas are scheduled to host the San Jose Earthquakes in the 2026 MLS regular season at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas. The official club listing has kickoff at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, October 24, in Frisco, on Central Daylight Time (CDT, UTC−05:00). That same moment is 00:30 UTC on Sunday, October 25. FC Dallas and MLS list Apple TV as the viewing platform. The latest official availability and disciplinary listings also identify players who are out or suspended, detailed below; the published lineup remains the final source for the starting XI.

Why the fixture has two calendar dates

The local stadium date is Saturday, October 24. The MLS schedule and match center may show the kickoff under Sunday, October 25, because they display it in UTC. On October 24, Frisco is observing Central Daylight Time, five hours behind UTC. The National Institute of Standards and Technology says U.S. daylight saving time in 2026 runs through November 1, so the October 24 conversion is CDT (UTC−05:00), not Central Standard Time. Add five hours to 7:30 p.m. in Frisco and the result is 00:30 UTC on October 25.

Those dates describe one kickoff, not a rescheduled or second match. If you are going to the stadium, use the Frisco date and time. If you are saving the fixture from an international calendar, check which time zone that calendar uses so the displayed date does not cause confusion. The latest official FC Dallas preview, the Toyota Stadium event listing and the MLS club schedule agree on the fixture, venue and kickoff; I found no official notice changing them as of this update.

Where to watch FC Dallas vs. San Jose

FC Dallas says the match will be shown in English and Spanish on Apple TV. The club names Evan Weston and Dax McCarty on the English broadcast and Raul Guzman on the Spanish broadcast. MLS also identifies Apple TV as its home for live 2026 regular-season matches. Open the match listing in Apple TV and check availability for your account and region before kickoff; the fixture listing confirms the platform, while access terms can depend on your location and subscription.

For audio, FC Dallas says fans can follow the match through the FC Dallas app and the club’s YouTube channel, with coverage scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. CT. The club preview names Ryan Figert and Steve Davis as broadcasters. Treat that as an audio option, separate from the Apple TV video stream, and confirm the matchday links on the club’s page.

Availability report and suspensions

The MLS Player Availability Report was labeled “Updated through: Matchday 31” when checked on October 24. In that report, FC Dallas forward Logan Farrington is listed OUT with a lower-body issue. San Jose’s listed OUT players are Nonso Adimabua (lower body), Jonathan Gonzalez (lower body), Darius Johnson (lower body), DeJuan Jones (lower body), Benji Kikanovic (lower body) and Niko Tsakiris (upper body). These are the statuses shown in the league report; they should not be treated as a confirmed starting lineup or as a guarantee that no later update will appear. Recheck the MLS report and official match lineup page close to kickoff for any change.

MLS’s Disciplinary Summary, dated October 20, lists two suspensions for this fixture. FC Dallas’ Sam Sarver is listed as suspended after a red card for offensive, insulting or abusive actions. San Jose’s Preston Judd is listed as suspended for yellow-card accumulation. The summary specifies the October 24 FC Dallas–San Jose match for both players. No further inference about the incidents is needed to understand their listed status.

The official FC Dallas match preview also names the officiating crew: referee Rubiel Vazquez; assistant referees Jose Da Silva and Oscar Mitchell-Carvalho; fourth official Lorenzo Hernandez; VAR Carol Anne Chenard; and assistant VAR Fabio Tovar. As with availability, use the club or league match center if a later official notice changes the matchday information.

Standings and matchup context

FC Dallas’ match preview lists the club at 14-7-9 with 51 points, third in the Western Conference. San Jose is listed at 13-8-9 with 48 points, fourth in the West. That places the teams next to one another in the table in the preview’s snapshot, making the meeting relevant to the late-season standings. The figures are the records shown by the club before this scheduled fixture, not a final table or a prediction of the result.

The same preview records the all-time series at 22 FC Dallas wins, 31 draws and 23 San Jose wins, with Dallas having scored 95 goals and conceded 119. At home, FC Dallas’ listed record against San Jose is 14 wins, 13 draws and 10 losses. These historical figures provide background only; the clubs’ current form, matchday availability and final score must be checked through current official coverage.

What fans attending at Toyota Stadium should check

Toyota Stadium’s event page lists the match for Saturday, October 24, at 7:30 p.m. The FC Dallas preview promotes a Harry Potter-themed match night, including themed photo opportunities and match presentation elements. Anyone attending should use the club’s current ticket page and Toyota Stadium fan guide for entry, parking, accessibility and venue policies rather than relying on a general fixture article. Confirm the stadium page again before leaving in case the club posts a matchday notice.

The key practical distinction is simple: Toyota Stadium is in Frisco, and the game is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. CDT there; the corresponding UTC timestamp is 00:30 on October 25. For television, look for the FC Dallas–San Jose listing on Apple TV. For starting players and any last-minute status changes, use the official lineup and match-center pages rather than a projected XI.
