After a 2024 season that saw Nashville Rhythm FC fail to claim the Southeast Conference title, they look to a rebirth in 2025 to change fortunes.
A new crest, a new home, and a restructured Southeast Conference await the three-time conference champs, who also reached the National Semifinals in 2022.
To go with the new campaign first came a new crest, announced in late January.

In addition to the club’s rebranding, the club have a new home as well. After calling Father Ryan High School in South Nashville their primary home for their entire existence, the Rhythm are set to move all 2025 home games to Green Hill High School in Mount Juliet, Tennessee, about 20 miles east.
The Southeast Conference has also been expanded and adjusted, splitting into two divisions in 2025. The Rhythm will be taking part in the Pioneer Division, along with four other clubs.
Those clubs are as follows, with their home city in parentheses:
Tennessee Tempo FC (Murfreesboro, Tennessee)
Jackson Ignite (Jackson, Tennessee)
865 Alliance (Knoxville, Tennessee)
FC Birmingham (Birmingham, Alabama)
Fans of semi-pro soccer in the region should recognize all these clubs, including the two expansion sides, Tennessee Tempo and Jackson Ignite. Both sides operate men’s teams in UPSL, and in fact the Tempo have competed in the US Open Cup in the past. (Does it count as a shameless plug if my own article is near enough two years old there?)
With all the prefacing out of the way, let’s actually dive into this schedule. Home games are in bold and italicized, locations for away games are in parentheses.
Tues. May 27th- vs TN Tempo FC
Sun. June 1st- at FC Birmingham (G.W. Carver High School, Birmingham, Alabama)
