Boston Legacy FC to Play Select Home Games at Centreville Bank Stadium
"As we expand across two exceptional venues, we see this as an opportunity to connect with even more soccer fans across the region."
While Gillette Stadium will serve as Boston Legacy FC’s primary venue in 2026, select home matches will also be played at Centreville Bank Stadium in Pawtucket, Rhode Island.
“With the FIFA World Cup coming to our region and unprecedented momentum behind the women’s game, 2026 is set to be a landmark year for soccer. As we expand across two exceptional venues, we see this as an opportunity to connect with even more soccer fans across the region," said Jennifer van Dijk, team president of Boston Legacy Football Club, in a statement. "We’re grateful to our partners at Centreville Bank Stadium for welcoming us into this state-of-the-art, soccer-specific venue, which also serves as the home for Rhode Island FC."
The 2026 NWSL season will coincide with the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which appears to have played a role in the decision to play outside of Massachusetts, according to the announcement. Gillette Stadium will host seven World Cup matches. With increased scheduling demands in Foxboro, Boston Legacy noted that it wanted to ensure that players and fans had “reliable access to top-tier facilities throughout the entire season.”
"We are thrilled to welcome Boston Legacy FC to our award-winning stadium,” said Centreville Bank Stadium general manager Paul Byrne in a statement. “Our state-of-the-art venue is eager to host the team as they compete on the national stage. We look forward to continuing our proven track record of providing a best-in-class experience for players and fans.”
Final venue assignments will be announced upon release of the full schedule by the NWSL. Season-ticket members who are unable to attend matches at Centreville Bank Stadium will have the option to exchange their tickets for additional seats at select home matches played at Gillette Stadium, Centreville Bank Stadium, or bank the value of their tickets for future ticket purchases or upgraded ticket options for the 2026 regular season.
