The 2026 preseason campaign for FC Dallas is underway. Players reported over the weekend for physicals and medical tests ahead of their first on-field training session. The club will train in Frisco for a few days before departing for what has become their annual trip to Spain for preseason.

Whether that means locking down a starting job or just staying in the conversation.
