Sarasota Paradise

Sarasota Paradise finished first in the South Florida division of USL League Two in both 2024 and 2025, form that carried the project up to USL League One, the third tier of the US game, for the 2026 season.

In its first season at the higher level, Sarasota Paradise sat 13th in the League One table after 21 matches, with 21 points to show for it. In the US Open Cup the same year, Paradise went out in the first round, held to a goalless draw by FC Naples before losing.

Marcus Walfridson, a Swedish entrepreneur and former coach, founded the club on 19 November 2022, with Marco Assis coming in as co-owner and chief executive. Sarasota, on Florida's Gulf coast, had not had a club of its own before Paradise arrived at the Premier Sports Campus at Lakewood Ranch, a 3,500-capacity ground the team still calls home. In 2023, its first year in USL League Two, the organisation was named League Two's New Organization of the Year.

The 2026 home kit, dark blue with thin stripes and orange-red trim on the shoulders, carries the name "The Primetime Streak"; the away shirt, white with turquoise and coral bands, is called "Seacoast Athletic." Both trace back to the nickname Walfridson chose for the club before a ball had been kicked: Paradise, unveiled to Sarasota on 14 January 2023.
