RGV Barracudas FC is an American soccer club based in Hidalgo, Texas. Founded in 2004 as an amateur team,[1] the men's indoor squad made its professional debut at the Barracudas Sports Complex as the Brownsville Barracudas in the Major Arena Soccer League during the 2014–15 season.[2][3] The club signed Luis Ángel Landín the following year, and that season advanced to the Division Final vs. Las Vegas Legends after his golden goal against Atlético Baja at Tijuana.

After taking the 2016–17 MASL season off to regroup, the Barracudas returned for the 2017–18 season as the Rio Grande Valley Barracudas, playing the State Farm Arena in Hidalgo.[4] The RGV Barracudas signed Vicente Matias Vuoso during the 2017-2018 season.

On February 25, 2021, M2 announced the return of the team to the league to play in the 2021-2022 season after a brief hiatus.[5]

The club's colors are blue and white; their home uniform, sponsored by Eletto Sport, is a royal blue shirt with a white collar and white shorts with blue socks.
