Austin Aztex U23 is an American soccer team founded in 2007. The team is a member of the United Soccer Leagues Premier Development League (PDL), the fourth tier of the American Soccer Pyramid, and plays in the Mid-South Division of the Southern Conference, against teams from Baton Rouge, Dallas, El Paso, Houston, Jackson, Laredo and New Orleans.

The team play their home games in Dragon Stadium on the campus of Round Rock High School in the city of Round Rock, Texas, 18 miles north of downtown Austin.

The Aztex were originally announced as Austin Stampede, but were re-branded after their controlling shares were bought by the professional Austin Aztex, who will be joining the USL First Division in 2009. The Aztex have an affiliation with English Premier League side Stoke City. [1]

The Aztex are unrelated to the city's previous PDL team, Austin Lightning, who left the league prior to the 2008 season.
