Austin FC are a football team playing in Major League Soccer's Western Conference.
History
The club was founded in 2018 as the first top-division major professional sports team in the city, although fellow MLS side Orlando City SC did start life as Austin Aztex FC.
It was originally intended for Columbus Crew to move their franchise to Austin, but instead they became an expansion team after local businessmen moved to keep Columbus Crew in Ohio.
The club joined MLS in 2021, and in just their 2nd season they reached the Western Conference final having finished as runners-up in the Conference overall.
