Ogden Outlaws is an American soccer team based in Ogden, Utah, United States. Founded in 2006, the team plays in the USL Premier Development League (PDL), the fourth tier of the American Soccer Pyramid, in the Southwest Division of the Western Conference.
The team plays its home games in the stadium at Bonneville High School in nearby Washington Terrace, Utah, where they have played since 2009. The team's colors are black and white.
Ogden Outlaws entered the PDL in 2006, under the leadership of long-time Utah youth soccer coach Mike Hickman. To the surprise of many, Ogden made for a formidable on-field opponent almost immediately; despite a 1-0 loss to BYU Cougars in their opening game, and a 4-1 loss to Abbotsford Rangers in the next, the Outlaws regrouped themselves and rattled off three wins on the trot. Their 3-0 victory over Tacoma F.C. led to an unexpected qualification for the US Open Cup at the first attempt, although their campaign did not last long, losing 6-5 on penalties in the first round to a determined Sonoma County Sol from the NPSL. Ogden's impressive early-season form petered out at the year progressed; a 4-0 win over Cascade Surge was their most comprehensive victory of the year, but that was to be their final hurrah - thereafter, the team suffered a disappointing series of results including 6 consecutive defeats, ending their playoff hopes fairly early. They eventually finished 13 points behind champions Abbotsford Rangers; Bruno Baca was the top scorer of a team that also included Turks and Caicos Islands international midfielder Duane Glinton.
