Chattanooga was announced as one of the four NISA teams taking part in the inaugural NISA Independent Cup on July 1. The regional tournament is set to act as both a pre-season and chance to "provide a platform for professional and amateur independent clubs to play together on a national stage."
The team was drawn into the Southeast Region alongside former National Premier Soccer League rival Georgia Revolution FC and United Premier Soccer League sides Savannah Clovers FC and Soda City FC. Games will be played between Chattanooga's home field at Finley Stadium and two venues in South Carolina, with both the region's championship game and third place games taking place at Finley on August 1.

All eight NISA teams qualified for the 2020 Fall tournament, which will be hosted at Keyworth Stadium in Detroit, Michigan, beginning on September 21 ending with the final on October 2.
NISA announced initial season plans in early February 2021, including starting the season with a tournament in Chattanooga, Tennessee with a standard regular season to follow. The tournament, now called the NISA Legends Cup, was officially announced on March 10 and is scheduled to run between April 13 and 25. 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 group winners would play one-another in a semifinal to determine a second finalist.
Chattanooga were drawn into Group 3 alongside Los Angeles Force and New Amsterdam FC.
The Spring Season schedule was announced on March 18 with each association member playing eight games, four home and four away, in a single round-robin format.
As a team playing in a recognized professional league, Chattanooga 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. On March 29, U.S. Soccer announced 2020 Fall Champion Detroit City FC as NISA's representative in the tournament.
