Pedroso's signing was expected after he posted pictures of himself wearing an FC Dallas uniform on Instagram last week. He was in Dallas that day for a physical.
Pedroso, 24, has played for teams in Brazil, Turkey and Hungary. He spent last season on loan to Hungarian side Ferencvaros.
Dallas leads the Western Conference with 35 points after rallying for two late goals in a 3-2 victory over MLS-best Atlanta on Wednesday night.
