The Austin Acoustic were a women's American football team based in Austin, Texas. The Acoustic competed a member of the Legends Football League (LFL) with home games at H-E-B Center in the Austin suburb of Cedar Park, Texas.{{cite web |date=October 2, 2015 |url=http://www.austinchronicle.com/news/2015-10-02/football-and-bikinis/ |title=Football and Bikinis |website=Austin Chronicle |access-date=February 24, 2017}}

Following the 2019 season, the LFL ceased operations and relaunched as the Extreme Football League (X League), which first played in 2022. All former LFL teams received new brands and the Acoustic were replaced by the Austin Sound.{{cite press release |url=https://extfl.com/xwire/xwire/ |title=A NEW ERA IN WOMEN'S EMPOWERMENT, THE X LEAGUE |website=extfl.com |date=December 17, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200114162543/https://extfl.com/xwire/xwire/ |archive-date=January 14, 2020 |via=Wayback Machine}}
