Nashville SC joined Major League Soccer on February 29, 2020, debuting in front of Tennessee’s largest-ever soccer crowd and capturing its first major pro sports title with the 2025 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. In their inaugural MLS season, the club became just the second expansion team to reach the Conference Semifinals. Nashville SC returned to the playoffs in 2021 after an undefeated home season and has made the postseason in 2022, 2023, and 2025, making them one of only three teams to reach the playoffs in their first four years and one of nine to do so in five of their first six seasons. The club opened GEODIS Park, the largest soccer-specific stadium in the U.S. and Canada, to a sellout crowd of 30,109 on May 1, 2022.
