Boston Legacy FC will play his inaugural season as an NWSL expansion team in 2026 at Gillette Stadium in Mass, due to the delay in redevelopment of its intended home stadium.
The team is expected to play at the White Stadium in Boston in 2027.
Boston Legacy said in a statement, “Gillet Stadium) is a world -class feature that meets NWSL requirements for field specifications, capacity and broadcasting capabilities, and will provide an thrilling gameday experience for our fans in 2026.” “Construction continues and we are ready to welcome our fans in 2027 at the White Stadium.”
The 65,000 -seat Gillet Stadium is more than 20 miles away from the white stadium. The facility is home to New England Patriots during the NFL season and the New England Revolution of MLS for eight months of the year. In addition, the Stadium will serve as a summer host for the 2026 World Cup.
The White Stadium located in the Franklin Park area was estimated to be ready by March, but some legal issues have delayed the project. One involves a local protection group filing suit in an attempt to stop the project. The cost of the project has exceeded $ 200 million.
Craft Sports and Entertainment, who oversees Gillette Stadium, said it was happy to provide a temporary house.
“Gillette Stadium is pleased to welcome Boston Legacy FC for its inaugural season in 2026,” the unit said in a statement. “Once the club was approached, the Gillette Stadium was proud to support the team and promote the advancement of women’s professional football in New England and was proud to provide a world -class site for Boston Legacy FC and its fans.
“Gillette Stadium and New England Revolution are ready to share the area with Boston Legacy FC as we add to our long history of hosting premiere football events.”
