New York City Football Club History
New York City FC first began play in 2015 as the 20th MLS franchise. NYCFC has a strong connection with the New York Red Bulls, with their rivalry known as the Hudson River Derby.
After finding their footing during their inaugural season, New York City FC reeled off three playoff appearances in a row, making the Eastern Conference semifinals in 2016, 2017 and 2018. The New York City FC roster was quickly built around international stars such as David Villa and Frank Lampard, with the former leading the team in scoring in each of his four seasons and winning the 2016 Landon Donovan MLS MVP Award.
In 2021, NYCFC claimed their first MLS Cup championship behind 2021 Golden Boots winner Valentín “Taty” Castellanos and the MVP goalkeeper Sean Johnson. One season later, New York won the annual Campeones Cup match. In 2025, New York FC advanced to the postseason conference final before falling to Inter Miami CF, 5-1.
