Boston Legacy FC Debuts at Gillette vs Gotham
Boston Legacy FC debuts with over 25,000 tickets sold for the home opener against reigning champions Gotham FC at Gillette Stadium, marking a major step in NWSL expansion.
- On Saturday, March 14, 2026, Boston Legacy FC opens its inaugural NWSL season at Gillette Stadium against Gotham FC in a nationally televised match on ABC, the ESPN App and Disney+.
- Awarded in 2023, Boston Legacy FC joins Denver Summit FC to bring the National Women's Soccer League to 16 teams amid growth and a four-year TV deal worth upward of $200 million.
- Coach Filipa Patão and GM Domènec Guasch have built a 24-player roster with just 10 players having NWSL experience, including goalkeeper Casey Murphy and Brazilian international Amanda Gutierres.
- Officials report more than 25,000 tickets sold as of midweek, with tailgating, special Commuter Rail service from South Station Saturday at 10:05 a.m., and a New Kids on the Block halftime show; tickets remain around $30.
- Looking beyond the opener, the league has quadrupled the salary cap in the last three years and plans to expand to 30 teams, with Atlanta joining later this year, said Jessica Berman.
