TQL Stadium

TQL Stadium in Cincinnati is the home of FC Cincinnati and one of MLS's most architecturally ambitious soccer-specific venues. Its faceted exterior design and steep, three-sided bowl create an atmosphere that has made Cincinnati one of the league's toughest road environments since opening. The Bailey supporters section in the north end generates tifo and chants that carry across the Ohio River valley on cold spring nights. The stadium's urban location in the West End ties match nights to Cincinnati's brewery and dining scene.

TQL Stadium opened in 2021, giving FC Cincinnati a permanent home after the club's record-breaking ascent from USL to MLS. It hosted the 2023 U.S. Open Cup final and MLS Cup Playoffs matches in its first seasons. The stadium's design by Populous drew inspiration from European grounds, with safe standing and close-to-pitch sightlines throughout. TQL's naming deal with a local financial services company tied the venue to Cincinnati's corporate community.
