Background

Austin FC started playing in the MLS Western Conference in 2021, finishing in 12th place with a record of 9W-4D-21L.[1] 2022 brought many new experiences for Austin FC. They lost their first ever U.S. Open Cup match against San Antonio FC in extra time,[2] won their first derby trophy, the Copa Tejas,[3] and qualified for their first-ever MLS Cup Playoffs in just their second season as a franchise.[4] Austin FC advanced to the Western Conference Finals but lost to LAFC.[5] Austin FC fell almost all the way to the bottom of the 2023 standings, with the team finishing in 27th place in Major League Soccer. The new sporting director Rodolfo Borrell was quoted as saying "The team overachieved last year, the team underachieved this year", but showed his support for coach Josh Wolff as the team looks to rebuild for the 2024 season.[6] At the end of the 2024 season, and after back-back seasons without reaching the MLS playoffs, Austin FC release their first ever coach Josh Wolff, having an interim coach for the final game of the season.[7] In November 2025, Austin announced Nico Estévez as the second coach for the franchise.[8] 2025 saw Austin advance to the finals of the 2025 U.S. Open Cup, falling to Nashville SC 2–1 at home,[9] and one month later qualify for their second every MLS Cup playoffs,[10] before falling in the first round to Los Angeles FC.[11]
