The 2026 Tampa Bay Rowdies season is the Tampa Bay Rowdies' seventeenth season of existence, their tenth in the United Soccer League, and eight in the USL Championship. Including the previous Tampa Bay Rowdies, this will be the 33nd season of a franchise in the Tampa Bay metro area with the Rowdies moniker. Including the now-defunct Tampa Bay Mutiny, this will be the 38th season of professional soccer in the Tampa Bay region.[1]
Following the 2025 season, with both changes to the coaching staff and ownership, Tampa Bay started a reset by announcing their end of season roster decisions, only keeping eight players moving towards the 2026 season.[2]
