Austin FC will compete in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup for the first time in team history in April 2022.
The oldest national soccer tournament in the United States, the U.S. Open Cup is a single-elimination knockout tournament featuring 103 professional, semi-professional, and amateur teams that compete for the prestigious tournament championship, as well as an automatic berth in Concacaf Champions League.
Austin FC will enter the single-elimination knockout tournament in the Third Round of competition alongside 16 other U.S.-based Major League Soccer clubs. Winners of all Third Round matches advance to the Fourth Round (Round of 32).

Austin’s Third Round opponent is guaranteed to be either a lower division professional side from the United Soccer League (USL) Championship, USL League One, National Independent Soccer Association (NISA), MLS NEXT Pro, or an amateur side from leagues such as USL League Two or the National Premier Soccer League.
