The 2021 MLS season is starting and it’s hard to believe that Austin’s soccer dreams are finally a reality. No longer will the University of Texas have a sports viewing stranglehold in one of the most unique towns in America. For the first time ever, locals will be able to cheer on a professional sports team with Austin FC.

The “Verde & Black” will play its season opener on April 17th in Los Angeles against city dwellers LAFC.
