Nashville SC Tickets

Nashville SC is an expansion franchise for Major League Soccer that is set to begin playing in the 2020 season. Led by local businessman John Ingram and the majority owners of the Minnesota Vikings — the Wilf brothers, Mark and Zygi, and their cousin Leonard — the city of Nashville officially won its bid for a new franchise in December 2017. Before it became a member of MLS, however, Nashville SC was founded in 2018 as part of the

United Soccer League

. It made the USL playoffs in both of its first two years of existence. The MLS roster will consist of the club's USL players plus newly acquired and drafted players. As the 13th club in the Western Conference, Nashville entered the league at the same time as

Inter Miami CF
