Austin’s football scene is not limited to the Longhorns. The Austin Outlaws have been an established part of the city’s women’s tackle football community for more than two decades, giving local athletes a chance to compete in full-contact American football.
Meet the Austin Outlaws
The Austin Outlaws are a women’s tackle football team competing in the Women’s Football Alliance (WFA). Their club website describes the team as 26 seasons strong, reflecting the long presence of women’s football in the Austin area.
The team brings together players with varied athletic backgrounds who train for a conventional tackle-football format. Games feature the familiar mix of running, passing, blocking, defensive plays and special teams, rather than flag football.
Where the Outlaws Play
The WFA’s 2026 team listing identified House Park Stadium as the Outlaws’ home field. House Park is a longstanding Austin football venue near downtown. Venue assignments and game times can change between seasons, so verify the location when purchasing tickets.
In 2026, the Outlaws competed in WFA Division II and faced regional opponents including the OKC Force, Houston Energy, Zydeco Spice and Dallas Elite Mustangs.
Why Women’s Tackle Football Matters in Austin
The Outlaws are an option for sports fans who want to support local women’s competition and discover a team outside the larger college and professional franchises. Their games can also introduce young athletes to pathways in a sport that historically has offered fewer visibility opportunities for women.
Supporting a local team can be as simple as attending a game, sharing its schedule or following community fundraisers. Women’s tackle football teams often depend on an active network of sponsors and volunteers.
Tickets, Tryouts and Team Information
