Stadium

Temecula FC currently plays its home games at Chaparral High School's stadium in Temecula. After being announced for the 2025 NISA Pro Cup, owner Brandon Jantz identified the stadium as not being up to USSF standards for professional games and that construction of their own stadium would have to be a long-term goal of the club as they sought to move up to the professional ranks.^[8]
