History

Summarize
Perspective

Pioneros was founded in December 2018 as one of the charter members of Fútbol Americano de México (FAM), a minor-professional American football league in Mexico. Gene Dahlquist was appointed as the team's first head coach.[2] Nevertheless, Dahlquist left the team after two games citing personal reasons and was replaced with Rassielh López.[3]

In their first season, Pioneros won the FAM championship after defeating the Centauros de Ciudad Juárez 16–0.[4] A few months later, it was announced that the team would join the Liga de Fútbol Americano Profesional (LFA) for the 2020 season, as the ninth team of the LFA.[5][6]

For the 2020 season, Pioneros signed several players, including American quarterback Ryan Pahos.[7] In their LFA debut game, Pioneros lost against the 2019 champion, Condors, 7–29.[8]

In 2021, the LFA and the Pioneros Querétaro parted ways.[9][10]

Later, the Pioneros returned to the FAM for the 2022 season. The FAM shut down league operations in September 2022 due to financial struggles.[11]

The Dallas Pioneros hired Art Briles to coach the team in the inaugural 2025 International Football Alliance season which starts June 7th, 2025. On February 10th, the Dallas Pioneros announced they would be playing at Bernard Birkelbach Field, located outside of Austin, Texas. With the move the team was renamed to the Texas Pioneros.
