Bakersfield Brigade are an American soccer team, founded in 2005. The team is a member of the United Soccer Leagues Premier Development League (PDL), the fourth tier of the American Soccer Pyramid, and play in the Southwest Division of the Western Conference against teams from Costa Mesa, Fresno, Glendora, La Mirada, Los Angeles, Modesto, San Diego and San Francisco.

They play their home games in the stadium on the campus of Bakersfield Christian High School in the city of Bakersfield, California. The team's home colors are red and black. Their away colors are all white.

Former US soccer international Eric Wynalda signed on to become the team's "technical advisor" in November of 2005 after talks for him to become the head coach failed due to his current broadcasting agreements with ESPN and ABC for the 2006 World Cup.
