Boston Legacy FC Announces Centreville Bank Stadium as 2027 Venue Ahead of Move Home to White Stadium in 2028
Following a Decisive Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court Victory, Legacy Provides Fans with Certainty About its Venue for the Next Two Seasons
BOSTON (August 27, 2026) - Boston Legacy FC today announced that the Club will play its 2027 National Women’s Soccer League home matches at Centreville Bank Stadium in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, before moving into White Stadium, its permanent home, in 2028.
The announcement follows the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court’s ruling clearing the legal path for Boston Legacy and the City of Boston to complete the renovation of White Stadium. The decision provides long-awaited certainty for the project and represents a tremendous victory for Boston’s young athletes, Boston Public Schools, and the future of professional women’s soccer in the city.
With construction progressing at White Stadium and crews working on site six days a week, the Legacy will build on the momentum created at Centreville Bank Stadium, where fans have established one of the NWSL’s most exciting matchday environments.
“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,” said Jennifer Epstein, Controlling Owner of Boston Legacy FC. “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.”
Centreville Bank Stadium in 2027
Centreville Bank Stadium will serve as the Legacy’s temporary home for the 2027 season, allowing the Club to continue building on the strong foundation established during its inaugural season in Pawtucket while construction continues on White Stadium.
During the 2026 season, Legacy fans quickly established Centreville Bank Stadium as one of the NWSL’s most exciting matchday environments, bringing energy and passion to the 10,500-seat venue.
Centreville Bank Stadium is home to Rhode Island FC, USL Championship team. Opened in 2025, the soccer-specific stadium features modern facilities, and a compact lower-bowl with an arena-like configuration, placing fans unexpectedly close to the action and creating a high-energy atmosphere.
“Centreville Bank Stadium provides the type of intimate, energetic atmosphere that can create a true home-field advantage, and we’re excited to welcome Boston Legacy FC back for another season,” said Paul Byrne, General Manager of Centreville Bank Stadium. “We want this to be a place where the club can win games, build momentum and give its supporters an outstanding fan experience.”
White Stadium Construction Progress
Following the Supreme Judicial Court’s ruling, the project team completed a comprehensive review of the remaining construction schedule, confirming that the Legacy will move into White Stadium in 2028.
The Court’s decision clears the way for Boston Legacy FC and the City of Boston to complete the renovation and deliver a world-class facility that will serve Boston’s students, families and communities for generations to come.
Construction is actively progressing in the grandstands, with crews on site six days a week. The project is now moving up and out of the ground, with major structural steel being installed and underground utility improvements underway. Over the coming months, the stadium structure will continue to take shape as roof systems, flooring, and additional architectural elements are completed.
When complete, White Stadium will have 10,500 permanent seats, featuring a high-quality natural grass playing surface, modern amenities, and an intimate, electric atmosphere. For Legacy matchdays, White Stadium will showcase professional women’s soccer at its highest level, giving fans a distinctly Boston experience and the Club a permanent home unlike any other in the NWSL.
The stadium will remain a public asset owned by Boston Public Schools while setting a national standard for youth athletics and professional women’s soccer. The project will triple public access, from 35 hours per week to 105 hours per week, while more than doubling BPS programming, from approximately 250 hours annually to at least 700 hours annually.
The renovation will also preserve the stadium’s historic character while creating expanded athletic opportunities for Boston students and the broader community.
Boston Legacy FC will train primarily at the Boston Legacy FC Performance Center in Brockton, Mass., a new 30,000-square-foot training facility featuring two full-size pitches—one heated natural grass field and one FIFA-approved artificial turf field housed within a seasonal air-supported dome for year-round, all-weather training. The facility will also include a half-field natural grass pitch. The Performance Center is one of the few purpose-built performance centers for a professional women’s sports team in the United States, underscoring Boston Legacy FC’s commitment to advancing the professional women’s game.
