Heading To The Top: Lubbock Matadors Kick Off The 2023 Season

The Lubbock Matadors Soccer Club is the newest entertainment event.

The Matadors are Lubbock's first professional sports organization in Lubbock since the Cotton Kings Hockey Team, Lubbock Crickets, and some of the Arena League Football Teams that were also in Lubbock back in the day.

The Matadors SC is an expansion franchise that's part of the National Premier Soccer League or the NPSL. The club finished the inaugural season with a 6-4-2 record in the NPSL Lone Star Conference last year.

Their first game of this season is this weekend on Saturday, May 13th, 2023.

The festivities really start on May 10th with a kick-off meet and greet at Cardinals Sports Center.

The game kicks off at 7:30 p.m. at Lubbock-Cooper Stadium. It is a red-out game so make sure you wear that color if you are headed out there.
