Current season

Founded in 2014, Atlanta United began play as an MLSexpansion team in 2017, as the twenty-second team in the league. It is the first MLS franchise to be based in Atlanta, and the club plays home games atMercedes-Benz Stadium, which they share with the city'sNational Football League (NFL) franchise, theAtlanta Falcons. The club is operated byArthur Blank, owner of the Falcons and co-founder ofthe Home Depot. The club also ownsAtlanta United 2, areserve team that competes inMLS Next Pro.

Gerardo Martino was appointed as the club's first head coach and guided Atlanta to their firstplayoff appearance in the team's debut season, before securing the team's first trophy in just their second season by winningMLS Cup 2018.

Atlanta has set several league records for highest single-match and averageattendance. In 2024, Forbes estimated the club was the fourth most valuable in the league, worth approximately $900 million.^[2]

At the time the team was announced, Atlanta was the largest metropolitan area without an MLS franchise.^[3]Atlanta Falcons ownerArthur Blank's AMB Sports and Entertainment Group had submitted a bid for an expansion franchise in 2008,^[4] but withdrew the bid in early 2009 due to state and local government budget shortfalls and Blank's inability to find partners to build an appropriate stadium for the proposed team.^[5] On July 10, 2010, Dan Courtemanche, MLS's executive vice president of communications, said that despite the bid withdrawal, regular discussions with Blank regarding Atlanta's potential as an expansion market were occurring.^[6]

On May 31, 2011, theNHL'sAtlanta Thrashers were sold toTrue North Sports & Entertainment, who announced that they would relocate the team toWinnipeg and rebrand as theWinnipeg Jets.^[7] The Thrashers' relocation helped restart the efforts and talks of bringing an MLS expansion team to Atlanta.^[8]

In May 2012, while the Falcons' proposednew stadium was going through the approval process, MLS commissionerDon Garber cited Atlanta as one of three "intriguing" markets for future league expansion.^[9] Additionally, when Blank presented his case for a new stadium at the Falcons' annual meeting with season ticket holders, he stated that an additional benefit of the new stadium was that it could help attract a Major League Soccer franchise and potentially hostWorld Cup matches.^[10] Later that year, in November, Garber said if the Falcons could complete plans for a new stadium, MLS would "try to figure out how an MLS team could be part of their plans."^[11]

Rich McKay, Falcons president and CEO, said in 2013 that the team was "open to various options, including [its] ownership of a team or someone else owning a team".^[12] Dan Courtemanche said, "We are big believers in the Atlanta market," and cited the city's growing Hispanic population and corporations that could serve as its sponsors.^[12] Then, in March 2013, the city and the Falcons agreed to financing terms,^[13] and in May 2013, theGeorgia Department of Economic Development board approved $30 million in bonds to finance the land purchase for the new stadium.^[14] The stadium was set to open in 2017 and could be configured for professional soccer.^[12] Atlanta remained at the top of the list for an MLS expansion team, as Garber, in the December 2013 MLS State of the League address, emphasized that it was a goal to continue to expand in the Southeast, and added, "if we can continue to advance our discussions positively with Arthur [Blank] and the [Atlanta] Falcons, we hope to be able to get a situation finalized so that could potentially be our second team. Orlando being the first, maybe Atlanta or Miami would be the second or the third."^[15][16] In December 2013, Garber said the league was making progress in discussions with the Falcons and that the stadium situation was finalized.^[17] Negotiations continued, as Courtemanche said in January 2014 that Atlanta "remains a great prospect for MLS expansion,"^[18] and in February 2014, Rich McKay confirmed the parties were "far along in negotiations."^[19]

On April 16, 2014, Blank announced that MLS had awarded an expansion franchise to his group, and the team would begin play in 2017. Atlanta became the second franchise awarded in the Southeastern United States in five months, following theOrlando City announcement in late 2013. The Southeast had been without an MLS team since theMiami Fusion andTampa Bay Mutiny were dissolved in 2001.^[20]

Atlanta's first regular season MLS game was played on March 5, 2017, atBobby Dodd Stadium with 55,297 in attendance.Yamil Asad scored the first goal in team history in a 2–1 loss toNew York Red Bulls.^[21] A week later, the team registered its first win with a 6–1 away defeat of fellow expansion teamMinnesota United FC.^[22] On March 18, 2017, the team registered its first win at home, beatingChicago Fire, who went down to ten men in the eleventh minute, 4–0 in front of a sold-outBobby Dodd Stadium.^[23] Following its move toMercedes-Benz Stadium, the team continued leading the league in attendance and averaged more than 48,000 in its home league matches, breaking records for attendance for a non-doubleheader MLS game and average single-season attendance for a U.S. soccer team. Atlanta clinched a berth in theplayoffs, becoming the third MLS expansion team to do so in their inaugural season, by finishing tied for third place in theEastern Conference; due to tiebreaking rules Atlanta was seeded fourth. In its first playoff game, the team facedColumbus Crew and set a then-MLS attendance record for a playoff game with 67,221 spectators in attendance. After 120 minutes of scoreless action, the match was decided by apenalty shoot-out, which Columbus won 3–1 to eliminate Atlanta.^[24]

In their second season, Atlanta finished second in the Eastern Conference as well as theSupporters' Shield. The club qualified for theplayoffs for the second year in a row, advancing toMLS Cup 2018 after beatingNew York City FC andNew York Red Bulls. In the final on December 8, the team beatPortland Timbers, bringing the city of Atlanta its first major sports championship sinceMLB'sAtlanta Braves won the1995 World Series.^[1] The win qualified Atlanta for the2019 CONCACAF Champions League, marking the first time Atlanta qualified for continental competition.^{[citation needed]}

The win also allowed Martino, who had announced earlier in the season that he would not return for the 2019 campaign, to end his two-year tenure on a high note.^[25] Josef Martínez was namedleague MVP,^[26] while Martino was namedCoach of the Year.^[27]

Martino left the club following their MLS Cup triumph in order to take over as manager of theMexico national team. He was replaced byFrank de Boer. In thesecond edition of theCampeones Cup, Atlanta defeatedClub América 3–2, winning the trophy and becoming the first club from United States to defeat a Mexican side in the cup match.^[28] De Boer led the club to wins in both theU.S. Open Cup andCampeones Cup, but after beating theNew England Revolution andPhiladelphia Union in theMLS Playoffs, Atlanta United were eliminated in the conference finals byToronto FC.^{[citation needed]}

The2020 season started brightly for United, with two wins in two matches before the season was postponed due to theCOVID-19 pandemic. Following a nearly four-month layoff, United participated in theMLS is Back Tournament inOrlando, Florida, losing all three of their matches. Following their elimination from the MLS is Back Tournament,De Boer and Atlanta United mutually agreed to end his relationship with the club.^[29] He was replaced on an interim basis byStephen Glass, who led the club following the resumption of league play in August.^{[citation needed]}

At the end of 2020, formerArgentina international defenderGabriel Heinze signed a two-year contract to be the next head coach.^[30]

During the offseason prior to the 2021 MLS season, Atlanta United brought in 9 new players includingSantiago Sosa and veteran strikerLisandro López.^[31] On April 6, 2021, United played their first game of the 2021 season, beating Costa Rican sideAlajuelense 1–0.^[32] The match marked the return of strikerJosef Martínez, who had missed the entirety of the 2020 season due to a torn ACL.^[33]

On April 13, Atlanta United beat Costa Rican sideAlajuelense 2–0 on aggregate to advance to the quarterfinals of the CONCACAF Champions League.^{[citation needed]} In their largest home defeat to date, they lost the first leg of the quarterfinals toPhiladelphia Union on April 27, 2021, by a score of 3–0.^{[citation needed]} On July 18, Atlanta United announced the firing of head coach Gabriel Heinze, after the team hit a club-record eight-game winless streak, with only two wins out of their first thirteen games of the 2021 MLS season. Heinze's interim replacement was Atlanta United assistant coach Rob Valentino.^[34] On August 12, formerMexican international andSeattle Sounders FC assistant coachGonzalo Pineda was named the fourth permanent head coach in club history,^[35] with his first match away toD.C. United on August 21. Valentino remained with the club as an assistant coach.^{[citation needed]} On November 7, Atlanta United clinched a spot in the2021 MLS Cup Playoffs after a 2–1 victory overFC Cincinnati atTQL Stadium.^[36] They were then knocked out in the first round byNew York City FC.^{[citation needed]}

Atlanta United finished 11th in the Eastern Conference in the 2022 season and did not qualify for the playoffs. Atlanta United participated in the2022 U.S. Open Cup as defending champions, as the 2020 and 2021 editions of tournament were canceled due to theCOVID-19 pandemic. They were knocked out in the Round of 32 byNashville SC. At the end of the season, after winning the award for the 2022 MLS Goal of the Year,Josef Martínez did not renew his contract with Atlanta United, subsequently leaving the club after six seasons.^{[citation needed]}

Atlanta United finished 6th in the Eastern Conference in the 2022 season and were knocked out in Round One of theMLS Cup Playoffs by theColumbus Crew. Atlanta United competed in the2023 U.S. Open Cup and also participated in the2023 Leagues Cup for the first time in their history.

Their top scorer in all competitions wasGiorgos Giakoumakis with 19 goals.^{[citation needed]}

On June 3, 2024, Atlanta United announced the firing of head coachGonzalo Pineda, after the team lost a club-record 5 consecutive home matches. Pineda's interim replacement is Atlanta United assistant coachRob Valentino, who led the team as an interim head coach after Gabriel Heinze was fired in 2021.^[37] In the summer transfer window, Atlanta soldThiago Almada for a reported fee of $22 million, plus $3 million in add-ons; which broke the transfer record for the MLS. They also soldGiorgos Giakoumakis andCaleb Wiley, which resulted in Atlanta United having over $50 million to spend in the summer transfer window.^[38]Atlanta United finished ninth in the eastern conference, allowing the team to qualify for the wild card round of the2024 MLS Cup playoffs.^[39] After defeatingCF Montréal in the wild card round, Atlanta United upset Supporters' Shield winnersInter Miami, who had also set a league record points total, in round one of the playoffs after winning the second and third matches of the best of three series.^[40][41] Atlanta United were then eliminated by rivals Orlando City in the following round.^[42]

On February 4, 2025, Atlanta United announced the signing ofEmmanuel Latte Lath fromMiddlesbrough for a reported $22 million with a contract through 2028 with an option for 2029 and would occupy a designated player spot on the roster. The signing made Latte Lath the most expensive signing in league history.^[43][44]

Arthur Blank stated that fans would be involved in choosing the name, logo and "a color scheme that'll work with the red and black with ... gold "^[45] (the colors used by the Falcons when they launched in 1966).^[46]

On June 25, 2015,Sports Illustrated reported that Atlanta's expansion team would be named Atlanta United FC. The official announcement of the team's name took place on July 7.^[47] Atlanta United president Darren Eales explained that the name was chosen based on a survey of the team's supporters and used words the supporters most positively related to the potential team.^[48][49] Eales also stated that the Founders' Group meeting would still be held on July 7 and the logo for the new team would be unveiled.^[48]

The team's name, logo and colors were unveiled on July 7, 2015. The logo features a circle reminiscent of the city's seal and Olympic heritage with a bold "A" at the center of the circle. Behind the "A" are five black and red stripes representing the five pillars of the team: unity, determination, community, excellence, and innovation.^[50] The team's official colors are black (for strength and power), red (or "Victory Red," as the team calls it, for pride and passion), and gold (for a commitment to excellence).^[51] The team has become unofficially known as "The Five Stripes", which correlates to the five stripes on the team's inaugural home kits.^[52]

In February 2019, on the heels of the club's first MLS championship, Atlanta unveiled a new primary kit for the upcoming 2019 season. The new design is nicknamed "Star and Stripes" and was created byAdidas.^[53] Changes include a move from five thick stripes to nine thinner stripes on the front, red socks instead of black, and a gold star above the team crest.^[54]

In February 2021, Atlanta United announced a new primary kit for the 2021 season. The design is named the "BLVCK" kit and is United's first all-black kit.

On July 12, 2016, the team announcedAmerican Family Insurance as its primary jersey sponsor for the first team. The terms and length of the contract were not disclosed.^[56]Truist is the official kit sponsor at the youth academy level.^[57] On February 4, 2020, the club announced that it had expanded its partnership with local healthcare provider Piedmont Healthcare. As part of the partnership expansion, Piedmont became the first team's sleeve sponsor and the main sponsor for the reserve team.^[58] Later, the team announcedTruist Financial andNAPA as short and sleeve sponsors.^[59] On March 23, 2021, the team announcedAT&T as its new sleeve sponsor.^[60]

On November 14, 2017, Atlanta United announced that they would be launching a reserve team to compete in theUnited Soccer League, the second division of American soccer.^[61] Club president Darren Eales said that the new team was launched to "bridge the gap between our best in class academy and our First Team." The team,Atlanta United 2, began play in the Eastern Conference of what is now calledUSL Championship in the2018 season. In 2023, the team was moved to MLS NEXT Pro.

Atlanta United operate a youth academy that competes inMLS NEXT.^[62] The academy began play in the 2016–2017 USSDA season and has seven youth teams: U-19, U-17, U-16, U-15, U-14, U-13 and U-12. Participation in the academy is free for all players and participants are eligible to be signed to the Atlanta United first team as aHomegrown Player. The club has signed six players to first-team contracts and three players to reserve team contracts since the academy launched.^[63]

In addition to its MLS NEXT programs, the academy also operates a soccer development program to identify players playing for local youth clubs and promote them to the academy.^[64] The club also operates the Atlanta United Regional Development School, a pre-academy feeder program for players aged 8–14 to provide training and development for advanced local players and identify potential academy players, as well as the United Juniors Program, a special development program to provide supplemental development for U-12 players playing for other Atlanta-area youth clubs.^[65]

The club shares Mercedes-Benz Stadium with theNFL'sAtlanta Falcons. The club typically curtains off the upper level of the stadium^[20][3] to create a more intimate atmosphere for soccer.^[66] For most games, Mercedes-Benz Stadium holds 42,500 people. The team used the curtains for six of nine home matches during the inaugural season. When expanded to full capacity, the stadium can hold 71,000 people, with standing room for at least 73,019 people (based on attendance atMLS Cup 2018—at the time, the largest single-match crowd in MLS history). To create a better match-day experience, stands are retractable to accommodate a larger field and allow better sight lines. When Atlanta was announced as an expansion team, Blank vowed, "There will never be an MLS game in Atlanta where NFL lines are shown on the field."^[3]

In January 2016, the opening of the stadium was delayed three months to June 2017.^[67] The team was originally scheduled to move into Mercedes-Benz Stadium on July 30, 2017; however, the complexity of the eight-panel retractable roof caused another delay in the stadium's opening. As the team could not useBobby Dodd Stadium in August due toGeorgia Tech having priority,^[68] the rivalry match againstOrlando City SC was moved up one day from July 30 to 29, and two home fixtures originally scheduled to be held at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in August were moved to September.^[69] The team's first match in the stadium took place on September 10, 2017, againstFC Dallas.

In August 2015, the club announced plans for training facilities, academy facilities, and sporting headquarters inDecatur.^[70] However, the results of an environmental and geotechnical feasibility study found that the site on Memorial Drive was unfeasible, and in November 2015 plans for the facility were canceled.^[71] Instead, the facility was built on a 33-acre plot on Franklin Gateway inMarietta. On April 11, 2017, the $60 million facility was opened, named theChildren's Healthcare of Atlanta Training Ground. The facility includes a 30,000 square foot building that acts as the club's sporting headquarters and houses locker rooms for the first team, reserve team, and academy teams, a full-service dining hall, and sports science facilities including a gymnasium and two hydrotherapy plunge pools.^[72] The facility also includes six outdoor training fields, including a showcase field with a stand that can seat 2,500 spectators. On March 28, 2019, the Marietta City Council agreed to sell an additional 17 acres (6.9 ha) of land to the club to expand the training facilities as well as extend the lease on the existing facility on city-owned land by an additional five years.^[73]

The first team played its home matches in the first half of the2017 MLS season atGeorgia Tech'sBobby Dodd Stadium due to delays in the construction of Mercedes-Benz Stadium.^[74][75] Although the club sought a balanced home-and-away schedule during their spell at Bobby Dodd Stadium, Atlanta United did not play any home matches from March 19 to April 29 to avoid conflicts with theYellow Jackets' spring football scrimmages.^[76] According to club officials, theGeorgia Dome was not considered a viable option to temporarily host the team, since delaying the Dome's planned demolition would have also delayed the completion of Mercedes-Benz Stadium.^[77]

Atlanta United has 6 officially recognized supporter groups:Terminus Legion,Resurgence,Footie Mob,The Faction,LA 12 de Atlanta andAll Stripes.^[78]

Terminus Legion is a supporter group that was created in March 2011 by graphic designer Matt Stigall, who wanted a way to show that Atlanta fans would support soccer despite the perception of the city as a "lazy sports town". The group was named afterthe name given to Atlanta when it was first settled, and its logo featuring acow catcher andrailroad ties reflect the city's history as a locomotive hub. In the days since the expansion team was awarded, its membership doubled to over 500, and in the time leading up to 2017, Stigall said the group would support "all Atlanta soccer" including theAtlanta Silverbacks of theNASL and at the grassroots level, and make road trips to rivalOrlando City SC matches.^[79]

Footie Mob is a supporter group established in 2014, their name a take on Atlanta hip-hop groupGoodie Mob. The group is known for pre-game tailgating and incorporating Atlanta's music culture into the supporter culture.^[80]

The previous record of 69,255 tickets sold was held byLA Galaxy. The game's official attendance was 70,425, making Atlanta the first MLS team to surpass 70,000 in attendance for a non-doubleheader match.^[87]

On October 5, 2017, the team announced they had sold more than 70,456 tickets for the October 22 match againstToronto FC.^[88] This allowed the team to break both the record for highest average attendance in a season for MLS (held bySeattle Sounders FC), as well as the record for highest average attendance in a season for professional soccer in the United States, which was held byNew York Cosmos. The game's official attendance was 71,874, which broke the MLS single-match attendance record for a second time.^[89][90] Atlanta finished the season with an average attendance of 48,200 for MLS regular season games, a number higher than that of multiple major clubs such as English sidesEverton andChelsea.^[91][92]

On March 11, 2018, the team broke the league single-match attendance record for the third time, selling 72,035 tickets for their 2018 season home opener againstD.C. United.^[93]

On June 30, 2018, fans set another record with 71,932 in attendance, more than any other soccer game happening that day in the world, including the2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.^[94]

On July 15, 2018, the team again set the league single-match attendance record with 72,243 in attendance.^[95]

Atlanta broke the league record for average regular-season attendance again in 2018, breaking their 2017 record and becoming the first MLS team to average more than 50,000 in attendance with an average attendance of 53,002.^[96]

On August 3, 2019, the team set another single-match attendance record, with 72,548 in attendance for their home matchup against theLA Galaxy.^[97]

During their inaugural season, Atlanta United introduced a ritual called the Golden Spike in a nod to the city's railroad history. Prior to the game, players and supporters sign a large golden railroad spike, which is then marched into the stadium by supporters and hammered into a platform by a local VIP while the crowd chants "A-T-L!" Additionally, after each Atlanta United win, the player voted as theMan of the Match hammers a spike.^[98][99] Local celebrities that took part in the Golden Spike tradition during 2017 included hip hop artists2 Chainz,Yung Joc, andWaka Flocka, as well as country musicianZac Brown, retired Atlanta Braves starAndruw Jones, and Atlanta basketball playersTiffany Hayes andDennis Schröder.^[100] Atlanta native rap artistArchie Eversole also participated in the Golden Spike tradition and would later compose a rap anthem for the club entitled "United We Conquer."^[101][102] In 2018, notable celebrity participants included singerT-Pain,^[103] Dutch soccer legendEdgar Davids,^[104] Atlanta multi-sports starBrian Jordan,^[105] boxing legendEvander Holyfield and his sonElijah Holyfield,^[106] and rappersJeezy,^[107]Killer Mike,^[108] andBig Boi.^[109] AtMLS Cup 2018, owner Arthur Blank hammered the Spike.^[110] 2019 saw celebrities such as wrestling legendRic Flair,^[111] Hollywood iconRon Howard,^[112] hip hop groupGoodie Mob,^[113] and basketball starDikembe Mutombo^[114] participate in the tradition.

On February 10, 2017, Atlanta United announced that the number 17 would be reserved for the fans. The number marks the year of the team's inaugural season in MLS. "Atlanta United aims to recognize that from the very beginning, the fans, the city, and the people define the spirit and essence of this club," the team explained in the official statement regarding the number's dedication.^[119]

On January 22, 2021, the club also reserved for the2021 MLS season the number 44. Following the death ofHank Aaron, aNational Baseball Hall of Fame inductee who played for theAtlanta Braves from 1966 to 1974, Atlanta-area sports teams on the amateur and professional level agreed to retire Aaron's 44 regardless of sport as a tribute.^[120]

Rights to all Atlanta United FC first team matches not broadcast byMLS' national television partners were originally held byBally Sports. Most of the team's games were televised by eitherBally Sports South orBally Sports Southeast, which also carried team programming. A small number of matches were broadcast on over-the-air television byWUPA in the event of scheduling conflicts with the two channels. Financial details of the deal were not disclosed.^[121][122]

Beginning in September 2020 (and for some services even earlier) as a result of negotiating issues withSinclair Broadcast Group and streaming servicesFuboTV,Sling TV,YouTube TV, andHulu Live TV, fans in the local Atlanta metro area and corresponding TV market's ability to view Atlanta United games on regional sports networks became greatly reduced.^[123] This issue was rectified when rights to every MLS game became exclusive to MLS Season Pass onApple TV+ in 2023, with select broadcasts simultaneously broadcast onWAGA and through its affiliated networks.^[124]

Kevin Egan served as the team's local television play-by-play announcer from 2017 to 2022. Starting in 2021, former MLS midfielderMaurice Edu was the color commentator, with Jillian Sakovits serving as the pre- and post-game show host and sideline reporter from 2018 to 2022.^[125][126]

Beginning in 2017, radio rights have been held byWZGC/92.9 The Game, with other Audacy stations being used as an overflow (includingWSTR (FM)). Mike Conti (play-by-play) and Jason Longshore (color) are the commentators.^[127] This did not change after the 2023 TV rights deal, as MLS does not enforce an internet streaming blackout with its radio partners.^{[citation needed]}

Rights toAtlanta United 2 matches were held byESPN as part of the USL's broadcast agreement until ATL UTD 2 joinedMLS Next Pro in 2023. Prior to 2023, games were streamed online onESPN+ with Jon Nelson as the play-by-play announcer and Jason Longshore as color commentator.^[128]
