Looking at when games were scheduled each month per season, we see that May usually has had the most games—however next season will see a backloaded October.

With Austin FC's 2026 schedule release this week, I went back and took a look at when games were scheduled each weekday each season. Austin FC only had 3 Wednesday games in 2025, and have 7 next season. 2022 was the other season with only 3 Wednesday games scheduled.

When you view Austin FC's late season form in this graphic, it looks a lot worse (shared by the @verdenationatx.bsky.social Instagram account).
Disclaimers:
- Before the Open Cup game, they had a 2nd choice roster.
- Open Cup hangover.
- Nico rested starters for the San Jose game.
- LAFC is LAFC.

No surprises for Austin FC—only one TAM player (Julio Cascante). Of the five teams with the highest TAM spend, only one of them didn't make the playoffs (Atlanta United).

In the end, Austin FC under Nico Estévez racked up 14 points in their last 11 games of the season, which is better than Josh Wolff did in any previous season. Still only 2 wins in their last six league games, but those wins were vs. Seattle and LAFC, two teams above them in the table.

Teams I predicted exactly: FC Cincinnati (2nd in East), Minnesota United (4th in West), Austin FC (6th in West), St. Louis CITY (13th in West), Sporting Kansas City (15th in West)

Teams currently with 53 and 54 points could be in the play-in game in the Eastern Conference (compared to Western teams on 38-41 points). Crazy.

Late season slumps were a theme for Austin FC under Josh Wolff. How is Nico Estévez doing so far in the last 11 games of the season compared to Wolff?
Under Wolff, the team achieved 12 points 3 times, while the most wins were 4 in 2021. This year, Austin has 11 points and 3 wins with 2 games left.
