Breaking news: Austin FC qualifies for 2025 MLS playoffs
Thanks to the Whitecaps' win over the Quakes on Sunday, Austin FC will make its second trip to the postseason.
For the second time in its five-year history, Austin FC has qualified for the MLS playoffs.
Thanks to Vancouver Whitecaps FC's 4-1 win over the San Jose Earthquakes on Sunday, which featured two incredible strikes by former Austin FC player Sebastian Berhalter to seal the result, Verde can finish no worse than ninth in the Western Conference table. Despite two straight losses in league play — games in which Verde had the chance to win through their own actions — they'll make their first postseason since 2022, when they reached the Western Conference final as the No. 2 seed.
The next two matches Austin FC plays will determine its playoff place, with anything from fifth to ninth a possibility. If you missed this morning's article, we worked out some playoff math at the bottom of the article.
Verde are currently 6th in the table on 44 points.

Eze Onuoha is a 17-year-old defensive midfielder from Finland who could be Austin FC's next signing. But will he first be a mainstay for Austin FC II? And given his reported transfer fee, is that smart roster building?
Austin FC's possession numbers and xG values haven't been sterling in 2026. But the changes made under Davy Arnaud are perceptible and bearing out in the numbers, per one analyst.
Austin FC announced that it will be playing the 2027 Coachella Valley Invitational — its fourth straight appearance at the tournament. Here's what we learned about that, and by extension, the sprint season.
Resiliency is the word of the day, as Austin FC rallied from a three-goal deficit to draw San Diego FC and stay in the playoff race. Despite an eight-match unbeaten streak, the postseason could hinge on beating MLS' best team.
