2020 Fall season
Initial details for the NISA Fall 2020 season were released on June 4, 2020.[14] In late July, it was announced that 1904 FC would not be taking part in either the Fall Season or NISA Independent Cup due to concerns raised by the COVID-19 pandemic.[15] A second NISA team, Stumptown Athletic, followed shortly after.[16]
On September 2, NISA confirmed San Diego would return for the NISA Spring 2021 season.[17]
2021 Spring Season
NISA Legends Cup
NISA announced initial spring season plans in early February 2021, including starting the season with a tournament in Chattanooga, Tennessee with a standard regular season to follow.[18][19] The tournament, now called the NISA Legends Cup, was officially announced on March 10 and is scheduled to run between April 13 and 25.[20] All nine NISA members teams take part in the Spring will be divided into three team groups. The highest placing group winner would automatically qualify for the tournament final, while the second and third highest finishing teams overall would play one-another in a semifinal to determine a second finalist.
1904 were drawn into Group 1 alongside Michigan Stars FC and the debuting Maryland Bobcats FC.[21]

Note: Match was not streamed due to technical issue and the match report only shows the starting lineups. Further detail was gathered from team social media and a match recording provided by Maryland. 1904 Subs (63' Lomeli in for Almubaslat, 75' Ramirez Jr in for Esquivel), MBFC Subs (56' Pato in for Alvarado, 79' Mason in for Balogun / Gray in for Kao / Kahsai in for Banjo, 85' Blystone in for Dawkins). Additionally, match report incorrectly lists Marson as starting GK for 1904 when it was actually Sarmiento.[23] |
U.S. Open Cup
As a team playing in a recognized professional league, San Diego would normally be automatically qualified for the U.S. Open Cup. However, with the 2021 edition shorted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, NISA has only been allotted 1 to 2 teams spots.[24] On March 29, U.S. Soccer announced 2020 Fall Champion Detroit City FC as NISA's representative in the tournament.[25]
