Perspective

On August 4, 2022, Austin FC was named as one of seven MLS clubs that would field a team in MLS Next Pro league beginning in the 2023 season.[2] Austin's team, named Austin FC II, develops players in a professional environment, providing a pathway from MLS Next to Major League Soccer.[1] Brett Uttley, a former assistant coach with Inter Miami CF, was announced as the first head coach for Austin FC II on December 13, 2022.[3] The team consists of players signed directly with Austin FC II, those with first team contracts with Austin FC loaned to the second team, and players on Amateur Agreements from the Austin FC Academy. The team will train at the St. David's Performance Center in Austin alongside both the first team and academy teams.[1]

Austin FC II's inaugural season in 2023 was marked by a strong defense, with the team allowing only 23 goals in 28 games, led by Damian Las' league record 12 clean sheets.[4] The team won the MLS Next Pro championship with only one goal allowed in the playoffs.[5]

On March 1, 2024, U.S. Soccer announced changes to the 2024 U.S. Open Cup, the national men's cup competition for the United States. These changes allowed MLS-affiliated MLS Next Pro teams to participate in the Open Cup in lieu of their MLS counterparts. Austin FC II was given a spot in the first round of the 2024 U.S. Open Cup.[6] On March 19, Austin FC II played in their first U.S. Open Cup match against amateur side Foro SC and were eliminated in a penalty shootout. The match was tied at 2–2 after extra time and decided in the penalty shoot-out, which Austin FC II lost 3–4.[7] Midseason, Austin had another new opportunity, playing in the MLS Next Pro invitational against, the 2023–24 Liga de Expansión MX season champions, Cancún F.C., winning their second trophy in their short history.[8] Austin finished the 2024 MLS Next Pro season in 24th place overall, failing to qualify for the playoffs.
