Oakland Coliseum Loses Its Last Team as Oakland Roots Soccer Club Announces Move [View all]
The Oakland Roots soccer club won't be playing its matches at the Oakland Coliseum after this season, meaning the aging stadium will go fully dark in 2027 barring some other interest in the venue.
On Thursday, the Oakland Roots soccer club announced it would be ending its temporary arrangement to play home games at the Oakland Coliseum, as the future of the larger Coliseum complex remains in flux.
The team made the announcement in a release, saying that "The Club is hard at work securing a venue for 2027 and beyond and looks forward to celebrating its final season at the historic Oakland venue."
The Roots have been playing home games at the Coliseum since 2025, along with their sister women's team the Oakland Soul, and they say that they "have come to recognize that the venue will not be a viable option beyond the conclusion of the 2026 season."
