Austin FC history
Founded in 2018, Austin FC kicked off its first season in 2021. That debut changed the local sports map. The Texas capital had been the biggest US city with no team in a major professional league, and Austin FC became the first to fill that gap.
The club competes in the Western Conference of Major League Soccer. Q2 Stadium sits in the northern part of the city and was built for soccer, giving the team a dedicated home. As a young club, Austin has not won an MLS Cup yet, so its title count stands at zero. What it does own is a piece of local history, since every major league story in the city starts with this team. The years ahead will decide what gets added to the trophy shelf, but the first chapter is already secure: Austin went from no big league team to one of its own.
