Philadelphia Lone Star FC is proud to confirm that the club will return to John Bartram High School Football Stadium for the 2026 season, marking its fifth consecutive year playing home matches in Southwest Philadelphia.

Located in the heart of one of Philadelphia’s most culturally rich communities, John Bartram HS Stadium sits within an area widely known as Little Africa or Africa Town — home to more than 10,000 African immigrants. The neighborhood reflects the identity and values of Philadelphia Lone Star FC, a club built on culture, community, and opportunity.

Since first calling John Bartram home, the stadium has become a gathering place for supporters, families, and local residents — a space where football brings people together. From matchday energy to community pride, the venue represents far more than a playing surface.

“As a club, it’s important that our home reflects who we are,” stated club president Paul Konneh. “Southwest Philadelphia is part of our DNA. Playing here allows us to stay connected to our supporters and the community that continues to shape our identity.”

Philadelphia Lone Star FC will host matches at John Bartram HS Stadium during the 2026 seasons for UPSL, USL League Two, and USL Academy competition.

• The UPSL season is set to begin in April
• USL League Two and USL Academy seasons will kick off in May
• Full fixtures for all competitions will be announced shortly

Season tickets will go on sale Friday, February 13, giving supporters the opportunity to secure their place for another exciting year at home.

As preparations continue for the 2026 campaign, the club looks forward to welcoming fans back to John Bartram HS Stadium — where voices are raised, drums echo, and victories are shared.

Welcome home. We Shine On.
