Background
San Antonio was awarded the thirty-first USL franchise on January 7, 2016. The establishment of the club, along with the concurrent purchase of Toyota Field by the City of San Antonio and Bexar County, was part of a plan by local officials to obtain an expansion franchise in Major League Soccer. As a result, the San Antonio Scorpions franchise of the North American Soccer League was shut down. The club's first head coach, announced on January 7, 2016, was former Elon University men's soccer coach and Orlando City SC ProAcademy Director, Darren Powell. On February 2, 2016, Carlos Alvarez became the club's first player signing.
The league expanded from 24 to 29 teams where San Antonio competed in the Western Conference of the USL.
