Mazatlán Futbol Club, simplified as Mazatlán FC, is a Mexican professional football club based in Mazatlán, Sinaloa. It competes in Liga MX, the top division of Mexican football, and plays its home matches at the Estadio El Encanto. Founded in 2020, after the Monarcas Morelia franchise was moved to Mazatlán.
In 2017, the government of Sinaloa decided to build a new football stadium in Mazatlán as part of a project that intended to build and improve several sport venues in the state. One of the goals of this project was to have a professional football team playing in Mazatlán.
In 2020, works were accelerated in order to have the stadium completed before June 30 and ahead of the start of the 2020–21 season with the aim of looking for a professional team to move to the newly built stadium. The stadium was provisionally named as Estadio de Mazatlán (Mazatlán Stadium) and it reportedly cost 1.452 billion pesos.
The Government of Sinaloa together with a group of businessmen from Mazatlán lobbied with a few Liga MX teams. Three franchises were rumored as potential candidates to be moved to Mazatlán for the 2020–21 season: Monarcas Morelia, Puebla and Querétaro.
On June 2, it was officially announced that Monarcas Morelia was being moved to Mazatlán, and that it would be rebranded as Mazatlán Futbol Club, as a entirely separate football club. On June 8, Mazatlán unveiled its crest and colors. The team colors are purple, black, and white.
On June 11, the club presented Francisco Palencia as their manager for the 2020–21 season. On July 27, Mazatlán played their first official match, in which they were defeated against Puebla with a score of 1–4: the club's first official goal was scored by César Huerta.
On December 9, 2025, Atlante acquired the Primera División franchise belonging to Mazatlán. The deal is expected to close at the end of the Clausura 2026 tournament.
