Who Are The Austin FC?
The Austin FC is a professional soccer club in Austin. It’s part of Major League Soccer, aka MLS, and competes in the Western Conference. The club was founded in 2018 and played its first full season in 2021. This is the only major sports team to call Austin home.
You might also hear the team called “The Verde” and “Black Los Verdes” as you roam around the city. You can identify fans if they are wearing bright green and black colors. Or you might see someone wearing the club’s logo, a minimalist bright green tree.
Where Does Austin FC Play Home Games?
Austin FC plays home games at Q2 Stadium, which seats more than 20,700 and is located in McKalla Place near The Domain, a shopping center. A convenient way to travel to one of the home games is by hopping on the light rail. The Red Line will take you to the McKalla Station.
When Does Austin FC Play Home Games In 2024?
Austin FC plays 34 matches in the regular season. The 2024 season started at the end of February. Visiting Austin on the weekend is your best bet to catch a home game because they play 27 Saturday matches and one Sunday match. Here are the home games to catch this summer:
- Austin FC vs. LAFC, June 19
- Austin FC vs. NYCFC, July 6

How Can I Watch Austin FC Games?
One of the best ways is to find single-game tickets for the weekend you are visiting. Games have a reputation for selling out, so act quickly. If you can’t get tickets, that’s OK! Sometimes, watching a game from one of Austin’s pubs is just as fun as being at Q2 Stadium. Many pubs have partnered with Austin FC, where fans gather to watch the games.
