The Red Bull competes as a member of the Eastern Conference of Major League Soccer (MLS). The club was established in October 1994 and began to play in the league's inaugural season in 1996 as the New York/New Jersey MetroStars. In 2006, the team was sold to Red Bull GmbH and re-branded as part of the company's global network of football clubs, leading to the team's current name.

Red Bull has played their home matches at Red Bull Arena since 2010, having previously played at Giants Stadium.
