For the final time in Year One, Behind the Flow returns to reflect on a season nobody expected and a connection nobody could have predicted.

San Diego FC’s inaugural campaign is now complete. We’re joined in this episode by CEO Tom Penn, who reflects on the “20-month sprint” and, in his words, the “innocent rise” of SDFC. A year that began with questions grew into belief, and ended with a playoff run that captured a city.

Adrian García-Márquez is joined by Katia Castorena and Darren Smith to look back on the moments that defined this first chapter: the rise from “tipped to struggle” to Western Conference contenders, the postseason growth, and the nights from Galaxy to LAFC to Vancouver that showed what this club has already become.

And to close out Year One in style, we present the inaugural Behind the Flow Awards: five categories celebrating the players, moments, and identity that shaped San Diego’s first season in MLS.

Now that we know how the story ends, for anyone who doesn’t yet know how it began, we invite you to revisit the first ten episodes of this series: the definitive origin story of how this football club was built from scratch.

San Diego F.C. is a club being built from the ground up - in record time. But joining as the 30th team for MLS’ 30th year, they aren’t here to make up the numbers. They've got a plan to rock American soccer to its foundations.  

Join local boy, and network sportscaster Adrian Garcia Marquez as we go behind the scenes to meet the people involved in their race to build a brand, grow a fanbase and recruit a team from scratch.  

This is Behind the Flow - the origin story of San Diego F.C.
