Monterey Bay FC: Surfside Showdowns Await

The Monterey Bay FC schedule always reads like a coastal itinerary, starting with Opening Night on March 7 against Oakland Roots SC. Navy and aqua fit the setting, but this club is not just scenery. Head coach Jordan Stewart has pushed for cleaner buildup and faster reactions in the box as Monterey Bay FC hunts its first USL Championship playoff berth. Kelpie, the kelp-forest mascot, keeps matchdays playful without stealing focus from the soccer. Set your match plan and get your tickets with Event Tickets Center!

Monterey Bay FC at Western Conference

In a West packed with USL teams, the USL Championship standings show Monterey Bay FC finished 11th in 2025 at 7-15-8 with 29 points, missing the cut line. Cardinale Stadium was kinder than the road, with a 6-4-5 home mark versus 1-4-10 away, and the goal totals (27 for, 45 against) made late comebacks hard to find. Captain Nico Gordon brought consistency at center back and signed a new multi-year deal, a steady piece for a 2026 push built on fewer mistakes. It will be fun to see where this story lands by the final whistle in October.

Feel the Ocean Breeze at Cardinale Stadium

Cardinale Stadium sits on the Cal State Monterey Bay campus in Seaside, less than a mile from the water, so the air changes as soon as you walk in. The 6,000-seat layout keeps you close to the touchlines, and the endline bleachers turn into a running conversation between supporters and the back line. Food trucks and open concourses keep things easy, but the real draw is how quickly you can feel the rhythm of the match, especially when Monterey Bay starts pressing high and forcing rushed clearances.
