  • Austin FC

    When Austin FC first stepped on the pitch in 2021, it became the first (and still the only) major league professional sports team that Austin could call its own. In the exactly 100 matches it has played since, the team has served as a representation of the city that Austinites feel a distinct sense of pride in supporting. This pride is evident in the atmosphere at Q2 Stadium on game day, in the rate with which fans say they identify with Austin FC, and in the way the club and community support each other.
