Fresh from a statement 4-0 win over the Portland Timbers, San Diego FC has booked its place in the Western Conference semifinals — and the city is buzzing.

With an international break giving us a brief pause in the action, Behind the Flow rewinds to where it all began: the final chapter of our behind-the-scenes documentary series, Episode 10: Preseason.

In this special re-air, Darren Smith opens the show with reflections on that emphatic win against Portland, looks ahead to next week’s semifinal clash at the Snapdragon against Minnesota United, and sets the stage for a look back at how the story started.

Originally released in July 2025, Preseason captured San Diego FC just weeks before their debut match — when the new training facility at Singing Hills opened its doors, Mikey Varas led his first sessions with the team, and Tyler Heaps put the final touches on the inaugural roster.

From those first touches at training to the playoff push that’s followed, this episode is a reminder of how far San Diego’s journey has come — and how much further there is still to go.
