Thanks for 2025, SixOneFive subscribers!

Hey y'all, Ben Wright here. Thank you so much for being a subscriber to SixOneFive Soccer this year!

When we launched SixOneFive last January, we had no idea what kind of interest levels we'd get. We knew we were really excited about soccer in Nashville, and knew that there was a passionate and engaged group of supporters. But asking them to buy into a brand new media venture is a big ask.

You all blew any expectations we had out of the water. We had more subscribers sign up in the first month than we had targeted for the full first year. Because of you, we've been able to have a team of writers, podcasters and photographers provide dedicated coverage of the club all season. Your support allowed us to send a full team to Austin to cover Nashville's first-ever trophy win. You've turned our Discord into a thoughtful, vibrant, genuine and fun community that we look forward to interacting with.

We wrote a lot in 2025 – 636 stories, to be exact – that I'm incredibly proud of. Here are a few of SixOneFive Soccer's top stories from 2025, with more at the bottom of this post.
