Gotham FC New York relocation

Overview

In early July 2026 Gotham FC announced a move of its home matches from New Jersey to the Etihad Park stadium in Queens, a 25,000‑seat venue slated to open in spring 2027. The club plans to begin playing there in the 2028 season as part of a strategy to expand its fan base and raise its international profile.

A week later the team revealed its first regular‑season NWSL game in New York City, to be staged at Citi Field. With over 40,000 tickets sold, Gotham is targeting a new attendance record and using the high‑profile event—featuring star forward Sam Kerr and a rivalry with Washington Spirit—to build momentum ahead of the upcoming relocation.
