Santa Barbara SKY FC, an emerging USL Championship soccer team, and Theta Lake, a leader in digital communications governance and archiving, have announced a multi-year partnership.
SKY FC is gearing up for its professional debut in 2026, while Theta Lake is known for pioneering secure digital communication solutions.
The partnership aims to leverage both entities’ strong Santa Barbara roots and commitment to community and innovation. SKY FC will soon grace the professional soccer stages, bringing excitement and sports development to the local community. Simultaneously, Theta Lake continues to advance in the tech sphere, ensuring companies maintain secure and compliant digital communications.
Theta Lake, established in Santa Barbara, has become synonymous with breaking traditional barriers in digital communication security. The company’s innovative solutions have set new standards in the industry, focusing on compliance and secure archiving of digital communications. Similarly, SKY FC is not just entering the soccer scene; it is also set to invigorate local sports and community engagement.
This partnership goes beyond mere branding and sports. It is deeply rooted in community impact, with plans to tackle food insecurity in Santa Barbara. The collaboration will include community-focused events to raise awareness and gather food donations, starting with an event later this year and continuing with three additional events in 2026. On game days, Theta Lake will feature prominently in SKY FC’s match day experiences, including in-stadium branding and game broadcasts.
SKY FC founding owner, Peter Moore, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration, “Theta Lake is an award-winning industry leader that not only shares roots with us here in Santa Barbara but also our vision of community support,” said SKY FC founding owner, Peter Moore. “Together, we’re building something special for Santa Barbara’s Central Coast.”
Devin Redmond, CEO of Theta Lake, also shared his views, “At Theta Lake, we thrive on competition, innovation, and pushing boundaries—just like SKY FC.
“SKY FC’s arrival in the USL Championship is a breakthrough for Santa Barbara sports. It’s especially meaningful for us, a company that was founded and built in Santa Barbara to partner with another group of passionate builders. As Theta Lake continues to break through in Digital Communications Governance, this partnership reflects our bold longer-term ambitions, our passion for teamwork, and our commitment to the community that helped shape us.”
