The 2026 Corpus Christi FC season is the Eighth season in the club's existence as well as their first in USL League One, the third-tier of American soccer after spending seven seasons in USL League Two. Despite not playing in last year's US Open Cup, due to rule changes, Corpus Christi FC cannot compete in the U.S. Open Cup because expansion teams are not allowed to compete this year. ^[1]
