What is Street FC?

Street FC is building the biggest football club on the planet. We host 5v5 street soccer games on hard-court surfaces in cities around the USA, and we’re assembling a giant community full of players and fans. Our game format is designed to make soccer accessible to as many people as possible – providing a level playing field for men and women, girls and boys, and people of all ages and skill levels. The Street FC app is core to the experience and it allows players to book into games, helps to manage players of different skill levels, and works to connect our community of players online and in the real world.

What are Street FC games like?

Street FC games are fast-paced street soccer games played on hard surfaces. Players book into 60 minute “sessions” and we play as many 4 minute “games” as we can in each 1 hour session. Each session has 15 players, each game is 5v5 (three teams total), with a “winner stays” format deciding who gets to play next. We keep score, but not stats. And, we are constantly switching up the teams to keep the play balanced. You can learn more from reading our rules.

Is Street FC in my city?

We aspire to bring Street FC to cities around the US and around the world. We’re currently live in NYC, Boston, Philly, Baltimore, Atlanta, Minneapolis, Austin, Denver, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and San Diego. If you would like to bring Street FC to your city, please let us know. Before we launch in a city, we do try to find an *amazing* place where we can play, so if you’ve seen great courts or open-space in your neighborhood, let us know.

Why only hard surfaces and small-sided games?

We are focused on making soccer as accessible as possible to as many people as possible. That means playing on under-utilized spaces in cities (where concrete is easy to find, while grass and turf are not) and leveling the playing field to make speed and strength less important to be competitive. Small sided games on hard surfaces accomplish both.

What skill level do I have to be to play?

Depending on the city you’re in, you can be of any skill level to enjoy playing in a Street FC game. In some cities, we currently host games for Beginners, Intermediate, and Advanced players. We also aspire to offer games for people who have never played before and for youth players of all levels and abilities. If your skill level doesn’t match any of the games we are offering, please let us know.

How do I get into a game?

Download the Street FC app to get started. Our weekly game schedule drops on Sunday night, and we allow players to book games up to 8 days in advance. Our games fill up fast, so make sure to have the Street FC app handy when new games are about to drop. If you miss out, you can always join a game’s “waitlist” (and as a waitlist grows, we often spawn new games and send a notification to those who may want to join).

What should I bring to a game?

We bring all the gear (goals, balls, pinnies), so all you need to do is bring clothes to play in and some hard-surface shoes (no cleats, no spikes). Bring some water and a good attitude too!

What happens if I can’t make it?

If you can’t make it, no worries. We just ask that you give our community enough time to fill your spot (our games are most fun when all 15 spots are filled!). You can read more about our cancelation policy here.

How much does Street FC cost?

When you join Street FC, your first game is free. After that, players choose to become Street FC Members to play in unlimited games per month OR purchase a single-game “Guest Pass”. When you become a Street FC member, you receive full access to the Street FC community including our Discord chat server, merch drops, invites to events and watch parties, and other exclusive perks and discounts. Free Guess Passes are also available to players who refer their friends to download our app and and play in Street FC games.

How do I get a refund?

If your game is canceled because of weather or other unforeseen circumstances, you will automatically be refunded your Guest Pass. In the event you’d like a refund for other reasons, please contact us.

How old do I have to be to play?

Our games are currently meant for adults (18+) although we often make exceptions to skilled players (15 and up). You can reach out to us directly if you’re over 15yo and would like to play in a match (as we may need written consent from your parent or guardian).

How can I get involved? How can I host games?

We’re always looking for “Game Captains” to help us host more Street FC games and bring Street FC to more cities. We pay our Game Captains a flat-fee for hosting games (a gig that includes greeting players, recruiting players, bringing gear to games, and set up and clean up). If you’d like to learn more, please reach out.

What does a Street FC court look like?

The ideal court is about the size of a basketball court (100 feet long x 50 feet wide) with a hard-surface that is not slick (concrete and asphalt are great, sealed concrete and SportCourt™ surfaces are less great). The court itself should have good ball retention (with a fence or wall surrounding it), and be in a safe and well-lit area with good foot-traffic. Don’t worry if the space doesn’t have goals or field markings – our Game Captains bring their own equipment to games, including goals and can take care of everything else.

I found a great place to play! How can I get a game hosted there?

We’re always looking for new courts to play on.  If you have any in mind, please let us know.

I *own* a great place to play! Can I help you host games there?

If you own a space (indoor space, warehouse, indoor parking garage, outside parking lot, etc) and you’d like to host Street FC games there, please reach out. We’re always excited to discuss partnerships with fans of the game.

Where can I get Street FC merch?

Street FC members have exclusive access to our club shop via the Street FC app.  New merch (hats, tees, stickers, etc.) drop regularly. 

How can my brand work with Street FC?

Street FC has done “activation” work with folks like Bundesliga, EA Sports, On Running and more. We’re always open to collaborate on ways we can work with your brand to promote the beautiful game or host a Street FC game in your backyard.
