==Club career==

===Early career===
Born in [[Fort Wayne, Indiana|Fort Wayne]], [[Indiana]], Beasley joined [[IMG Academy]], the [[United States Soccer Federation]]'s Residency program in [[Bradenton, Florida]]. Before moving to Florida, Beasley played at [[South Side High School (Fort Wayne, Indiana)|South Side High School]] for two years. Beasley starred in the 1999 [[FIFA U-17 World Championship|Under-17 World Cup]] in New Zealand, winning the Silver Ball as the tournament's second best player, behind teammate [[Landon Donovan]].

===Chicago Fire===
Beasley signed with MLS on March 16, 1999, and was allocated to the [[LA Galaxy]]. However, before making any appearances with LA, he was traded in February 2000 to the [[Chicago Fire Soccer Club|Chicago Fire]] in exchange for first-round picks in the [[2000 MLS SuperDraft]] and [[2001 MLS SuperDraft]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espn.com/soccer/news/2000/0206/340511.html|title=ESPN.com - SOCCER - L.A. trades Beasley for Fire's first-round pick|publisher=ESPN}}</ref> He would excel with Chicago, scoring 14 goals and recording 20 assists over 4.5 seasons while being named to the league [[MLS Best XI|Best XI]] in 2003. He was close to signing for [[Southampton FC]] in 2004, but MLS rejected the offer much to Beasley's displeasure.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/5571343.Beasley_angered_by_MLS_decision/|title=Beasley angered by MLS decision|date=June 18, 2004 }}</ref>

His stay with the Fire ended on July 19, 2004, when Dutch giants [[PSV Eindhoven]] agreed on a transfer fee with MLS worth $2.5&nbsp;million. He signed a four-year contract.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://soccernet.espn.go.com/print?id=305420&type=story&cc=5901 |title=Done deal: Beasley joins PSV |publisher=Soccernet |date=July 22, 2004 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110604162613/http://soccernet.espn.go.com/print?id=305420&type=story&cc=5901 |archive-date=June 4, 2011}}</ref>

===PSV===
PSV manager [[Guus Hiddink]] brought Beasley in as the successor to [[Arjen Robben]] (who went to [[Chelsea F.C.|Chelsea]]), and because of that, Beasley was granted the number 11 jersey. In his first season in the [[Eredivisie]], Beasley played 29 games, scored 6 goals in 34 domestic games of the Dutch season and helped PSV win their 18th league title. On May 28, 2005, PSV advanced to [[2005 KNVB Cup Final|the final]] of the [[2004–05 KNVB Cup]] by defeating [[Feyenoord]] in a [[Penalty shootout (association football)|penalty shootout]] after Beasley's goal in the final minute of regulation tied the match.

In addition to making an impact on the domestic level, Beasley became the first American to play in the semi-finals of the [[UEFA Champions League]], against [[A.C. Milan|Milan]].<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Wahl |first=Grant |title=Eddie Makes This Game Look Cool |url=http://vault.sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1111451/index.htm |date=May 30, 2005 |magazine=[[Sports Illustrated]] |access-date=September 10, 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080820033451/http://vault.sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1111451/index.htm |archive-date=August 20, 2008}}</ref> In the first leg, PSV lost 2–0 at the [[San Siro]], while in the second leg, PSV won 3–1 at [[Philips Stadion]], though they were eliminated based on the [[away goals rule]]. Despite the loss, Beasley was an important player, leading his team with 4 goals in 12 Champions League matches.

DaMarcus was fined [[Euro|€]]1,500 ($1,852) for [[driving under the influence]] of alcohol as a result of an incident on January 16, 2006. His Dutch driving privileges were suspended for the next three months, followed by a three-month probationary period.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.soccertimes.com/americans/2006/apr21.htm |title=Beasley fined $1,852 by Dutch judge for driving under the influence of alcohol |last=Davidson |first=Gary |date=April 21, 2006 |access-date=October 29, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100809050321/http://www.soccertimes.com/americans/2006/apr21.htm |archive-date=August 9, 2010 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

===Manchester City===
After a disappointing individual season for Beasley in which PSV won their 19th championship, on August 31, 2006, he joined English [[Premier League]] side [[Manchester City F.C.|Manchester City]] on a season-long loan fulfilling his ambition to play in England.<ref>{{cite news | title=Man City move for Beasley on loan| work=BBC Sport | url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/man_city/5304228.stm | access-date=January 3, 2010  | date= August 31, 2006}}</ref> However, his first few weeks with City were troubled by injury, limiting his ability to play. On December 30, Beasley scored his first goal for City, a match-winner in the 83rd minute against [[West Ham United F.C.|West Ham United]]. He went on to score three times more before returning to PSV after making 22 appearances in total.<ref>{{cite news | title=Man City release winger Beasley | work=BBC Sport | url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/man_city/6659429.stm | access-date= May 15, 2007  | date= May 15, 2007}}</ref>

===Rangers===
[[Scottish Premier League]] club [[Rangers F.C.|Rangers]] signed Beasley for [[Pound Sterling|£]]700,000 in June 2007.<ref name="Rangers speculation">{{cite news|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/r/rangers/6243752.stm|title=Rangers clinch Beasley transfer|work=BBC Sport|date= June 27, 2007 | access-date= January 2, 2010}}</ref> He became the second American to play for the Rangers' first team, after [[Claudio Reyna]].

During the match, Beasley was subjected to racial taunting by Zeta fans, along with fellow black teammate, [[Jean-Claude Darcheville]].<ref>{{cite news | title=Goal-hero Beasley stunned by racist abuse | publisher=[[ESPN]] | url=http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=451116&cc=5901 | date=August 7, 2007 | access-date=October 29, 2010 | archive-date=October 20, 2012 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121020225655/http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=451116&cc=5901 | url-status=dead }}</ref> He urged [[UEFA]] and [[FIFA]] to do something about the chants, which prompted an investigation intended to crack down on the crowds at soccer matches.<ref>{{cite news | title=Beasley wants hard line on racist chants | work=The Scotsman| url=http://sport.scotsman.com/football.cfm?id=1242342007 | date= August 8, 2007}}</ref>  Beasley scored his first Scottish Premier League goal in Rangers' 2–1 win over [[Kilmarnock F.C.|Kilmarnock]] on August 25, 2007.
[[File:DaMarcus Beasly.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Beasley played a key role in [[Rangers F.C.|Rangers]]' [[Scottish Cup]] final victory over [[Queen of the South F.C.|Queen of the South]]]]
On October 2, 2007, Beasley was influential in Rangers 3–0 win against [[Olympique Lyonnais|Lyon]] in the [[2007–08 UEFA Champions League group stage|Champions League group stage]]. He was involved in all three Rangers goals in a victory for the Scottish side. His inswinging corner was headed in by [[Lee McCulloch]] to give Rangers a 1–0 advantage. Beasley's wide pass to [[Alan Hutton]] allowed him to spring free and set up [[Daniel Cousin]] for the second. Finally, Beasley took a 50-meter aerial pass from Cousin while on the run, controlled, and finished. Beasley was named Man of the Match.<ref>{{cite news | title=Beasley adds finishing gloss to Rangers rout of Lyon | work=The Guardian| url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2007/oct/03/match.championsleague2 | date = October 3, 2007 | location=London | first=Steve | last=Douglasand}}</ref>

During a Champions League match against [[VfB Stuttgart]], Beasley was hurt in a collision with goalkeeper [[Raphael Schäfer]]. This left him unable to complete the match and he was substituted. The true extent of the injury meant that he was expected to miss the rest of the Scottish Premier League season.<ref name="Rangers dealt Beasley injury blow">{{cite news|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/r/rangers/7121151.stm|work=BBC Sport|title=Rangers dealt Beasley injury blow|date= November 30, 2007 | access-date= January 2, 2010}}</ref> However, Beasley was named in the Rangers squad for the match against [[Dundee United F.C.|Dundee United]] on May 10.<ref name="Rangers v Dundee Utd">{{cite news|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/scot_prem/7390628.stm|work=BBC Sport|title=Rangers v Dundee United|date= May 9, 2008 | access-date= January 2, 2010|first=Thomas|last=McGuigan}}</ref> He made his return on May 19 against [[St Mirren F.C.|St Mirren]]. His first start for Rangers after his injury came in the [[Scottish Cup]] final against [[Queen of the South F.C.|Queen of the South]]; he notched a goal and an assist in the 3–2 victory.

On August 23, 2008, in a Scottish Premier League match against [[Aberdeen F.C.|Aberdeen]] at [[Pittodrie Stadium]], Beasley looked to have scored his first goal of the campaign, though the goal was wrongly ruled out for offside.<ref>{{cite news | url = https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/scot_prem/7575840.stm | title = Aberdeen 1–1 Rangers | publisher =  BBC Sport | date= August 23, 2008 | access-date = October 29, 2010 | first = Thomas | last = McGuigan }}</ref> Beasley helped Rangers win the SPL title for [[2008–09 Scottish Premier League|2008–09]], being awarded a championship medal after appearing in ten league matches during the season.

During the [[2009–10 Scottish Premier League|2009–10 season]], Beasley saw little playing time with Rangers. He stated in December 2009 that he would seek a move away from the club during the upcoming January transfer window in order to secure a place in the United States squad for the [[2010 FIFA World Cup]]. Shortly after this declaration, Beasley was given a run of games in the Rangers team during the month of December. He had some impressive performances, scoring in games against [[Dundee United F.C.|Dundee United]] and [[Motherwell F.C.|Motherwell]]. After the Motherwell game Beasley expressed his desire to stay with Rangers and help them retain the Scottish Premier League title. Although Rangers won the title, Beasley was not entitled to a championship medal, having played in only eight games, less than the 25% required.<ref name="SPL Handbook 2009-10">{{cite web | url = http://www.scotprem.com/content/mediaassets/doc/SPL%20Handbook%202009-10.pdf | title = The Scottish Premier League Handbook | publisher = scotprem.com | access-date = October 29, 2010 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110612184642/http://www.scotprem.com/content/mediaassets/doc/SPL%20Handbook%202009-10.pdf | archive-date = June 12, 2011 | url-status = dead }}</ref>

==International career==
Beasley was [[Cap (association football)|capped]] over [[List of men's footballers with 100 or more international caps|100 times]] for the [[United States men's national soccer team|United States national team]], participating in four [[FIFA World Cup]]s. He was also a key part of the United States team that won the [[CONCACAF Gold Cup]] in [[2002 CONCACAF Gold Cup|2002]], [[2005 CONCACAF Gold Cup|2005]], [[2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup|2007]], [[2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup|2013]], & [[2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup|2017]] as a viewer. For the 2013 Gold Cup, Beasley was the team's [[Captain (association football)|captain]].

Beasley played for the [[United States men's national under-20 soccer team|Under-20 team]] at the [[2001 FIFA World Youth Championship]] in Argentina. He received his first senior cap on January 27, 2001, age 18, against [[China PR national football team|China]]. At age 20, he was named in the United States' squad for the [[2002 FIFA World Cup|2002 World Cup]] in Japan and South Korea, playing in all three group matches as the team achieved its best performance in over half a century by reaching the quarter-finals.

Beasley, along with fellow young midfielder [[Landon Donovan]], was criticized by fans and U.S. coach [[Bruce Arena]] for poor play during the [[2006 FIFA World Cup|2006 World Cup]]. He set up the U.S.'s only goal (scored by [[Clint Dempsey]]) against [[Ghana national football team|Ghana]] and had a potential game-winning goal disallowed against [[Italy national football team|Italy]] when [[Brian McBride]] was adjudged to be screening [[Gianluigi Buffon]] in an offside position.

In a [[2010 FIFA World Cup qualification|2010 World Cup qualification]] [[2010 FIFA World Cup qualification - CONCACAF fourth round|fourth-round]] game against [[Trinidad and Tobago national football team|Trinidad and Tobago]], Beasley played the full 90 minutes at [[Defender (association football)|left back]].

As Beasley struggled with injuries and playing time at Rangers, he saw his national team form drop considerably.

He was substituted shortly after and did not make an appearance for the rest of the tournament.

Beasley was named by U.S. coach [[Bob Bradley]] to the nation's 23-man roster for the [[2010 FIFA World Cup|2010 World Cup]], but made only one substitute appearance in a group stage match, against [[Algeria national football team|Algeria]].
