Boston Legacy FC has announced that it will not play at White Stadium until 2028 with the club playing its home games in Rhode Island in 2027.
“Throughout this journey, we have been guided by a simple belief: Boston deserves a world-class home for professional women’s soccer and youth sports–a home that will shape the future of our club, expand opportunities for Boston Public Schools students, and serve families and communities for generations to come,” Boston Legacy FC controlling owner Jennifer Epstein said in a statement. “We are deeply grateful to our fans, partners, the City of Boston, and Boston Public Schools for believing in this vision and helping us move it forward. With certainty now in place, we are excited to continue building our club and our community together at Centreville Bank Stadium in 2027, while keeping our eyes on what has always been the destination: bringing Boston Legacy FC home to White Stadium.”
Following the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court’s ruling, the project team completed a comprehensive review of the remaining construction schedule, according to the club. This review "confirmed" that the club would move to White Stadium in 2028.
Construction is actively progressing in the grandstands, with crews on site six days a week, according to the club. Additionally, major structural steel is being installed and underground utility improvements are underway, according to the club. The next steps are the construction of roof systems, flooring, and "architecural elements," the club noted.
Day One Season Ticket Members will secure their seats for White Stadium for the 2028 season through a two-year membership renewal.
“Boston is the greatest sports city in the nation, and we are incredibly grateful to have the best fans in women’s soccer, here in Boston and throughout New England,” Boston Legacy FC Team President Jennifer van Dijk said in a statement. “We cannot thank them enough for their continued commitment to the growth of this club — showing up across venues, turning out in record-breaking numbers, cheering through all kinds of weather, and creating an incredible sense of community joy in the stands.”
The Boston Globe – which was the first outlet to break the news of the stadium plans for 2027 and 2028 – also reported that the club's privately funded, $60 million training facility in Brockton will open in November.
