The 2026 Union Omaha season will be the seventh season in the soccer team's history, all of which have been in USL League One in the third division of American soccer. After playing their first six seasons at Werner Park in Papillion, Nebraska, the team will play their home games at Morrison Stadium in Downtown Omaha. [1]
This will be the first full season for Vincenzo Candela as head coach. He replaced Dominic Casciato in the middle of the 2025 season, after Casciato left the club to become head coach of Tampa Bay Rowdies in the USL Championship. It will also be the first full season with Jamie Henderson as sporting director, after he joined the club in August of 2025.
