Auckland FC

Auckland Football Club, commonly known as Auckland FC, is a professional football club based in Auckland, New Zealand that competes in the A-League, the top flight of Australian soccer and the OFC Professional League. They became both the A-League and the OFC Professional League champions for the 2025–26 season.

Established on 14 March 2024, the club is under license from the APL. The club's home ground is the Mount Smart Stadium, currently known as the Go Media Stadium for sponsorship reasons, in Penrose. Auckland was given an A-League license under its chosen owner Bill Foley in November 2023, as part of the third tranche competition expansion. The club achieved early success by claiming the Premiership in the 2024–25 regular season, and the Championship in 2026, becoming only the second expansion side to win the former in their debut season, after Western Sydney Wanderers in the regular 2012–13 season.
