The list of the top ten U.S. TV markets for the match on FS1 was published by Steven Goff (@SoccerInsider), Washington Post soccer writer.

After Austin on the list were three cities that have among the highest average attendance in MLS to date for the 2019 season: Atlanta, Portland, and Seattle.

The popularity of soccer in Austin is no surprise to the locals as there were deposits for over 30,000 seats for Austin FC when they begin play in 2021.

Last year, Austin had the fifth highest TV ratings in the U.S. for the MLS Cup, as well as the fourth highest TV ratings for the entire World Cup.

One thing is clear: Austin loves soccer.

I went to my first FC Austin Elite match last night and it was a lot of fun to see them beat the El Paso Surf 4-0. Are you wondering who FC Austin Elite is? Well, they are Austin’s pro-am women’s soccer team and will be finishing up their fifth season in a couple weeks.

FC Austin Elite home field

FC Austin Elite will be playing their final home match of the regular season at Bold Stadium, home of Austin Bold FC.

That’s an awesome upgrade from the field from the last game. Don’t get me wrong – that was a gorgeous pitch, but it was a different atmosphere from a stadium where folks in attendance brought along their own chairs to sit alongside the action.

Playing at the stadium will be fun for players and fans alike. Bold Stadium is located at 9201 Circuit of the Americas Blvd, Del Valle, TX 78617.

The match is taking place at 7:30 PM on July 6 against the San Antonio Athenians.

The FC Austin Elite vs. San Antonio Athenians match is taking place the day before the FIFA Women’s World Cup final in France.

Come out and support women’s soccer in Austin and bring your friends and family – it’s going to be free to park and go to the game.

FC Austin Elite plays in United Women’s Soccer, a second-division pro-am women’s soccer league behind the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL).
