MINNESOTA United B is the reserve team of Major League Soccer's Minnesota United FC, competing in MLS Next Pro, the official developmental league for MLS. Based in the Twin Cities, the team plays its home matches at the National Sports Center Stadium in Blaine. Founded as part of the league's initiative to improve player development pathways, the team's brief history is focused on providing competitive minutes for academy prospects, first-team players returning from injury, and supplemental squad members. A key moment in any season is seeing a young player excel with the B team and earn a promotion to the senior MLS roster, fulfilling the team's core purpose. The modern Minnesota United B side plays a style intended to mirror the first team's tactical approach, ensuring a seamless transition for players. The team culture is one of development and opportunity, with less focus on results and more on individual growth and readiness for the highest level. It is a critical component of the club's future.
