Q2 Stadium in Austin, Texas is the home of Austin FC and one of MLS's newest soccer-specific venues, a 20,500-seat open-air bowl in the city's growing domain district. The steep stands and open south end create an intimate, loud atmosphere that has quickly made Austin one of the league's toughest road trips. The stadium also hosts MLS and WNBA All-Star events, reflecting Austin's rising profile as a sports market.
Q2 Stadium opened in June 2021 as Austin FC's inaugural home, giving MLS its newest expansion city a purpose-built cathedral. It hosted the 2025 MLS All-Star Game and has been a regular venue for USMNT matches. Its design and fan culture have made it a model for how new MLS markets can build identity from day one.
