New York City FC history
NYCFC is the first MLS franchise based inside the city itself. It debuted in the 2015 season as the league's twentieth expansion team. City Football Group, part of the Abu Dhabi United Group, owns the club, with smaller stakes held by the company that owns the Yankees and by investor Marcelo Claure. Its rivalry with the New York Red Bulls is called the Hudson River Derby.
Five seasons of solid regular seasons and early playoff exits ended in 2021 with an MLS Cup. In 2022 the club beat Atlas to win the Campeones Cup, the first international trophy for any New York soccer team. Since that season, part of the home schedule has moved to Citi Field, across the street from Etihad Park, the club's future stadium, set to open in 2027.
