Boston Legacy Football Club Announces 2026 NWSL regular season schedule
Boston (January 15, 2026) - Boston Legacy FC today announced its 2026 regular season competition schedule, which includes 15 home and 15 away games. In a clash between historic rival neighbors Boston and New York, the Legacy will play their home opener – and first-ever match – at Gillette Stadium on March 14 against reigning NWSL champions NJ/NY Gotham FC at 12:30 PM ET, on ABC.
“I’m excited to get on the pitch and compete,” said Legacy head coach Filipa Patão. “We want our fans to love watching us play, so we will always fight hard for our fans and for the crest on our shirt. We’re not here to avoid losing; we are here to try to win. Yes, we are an expansion team, but in this league it doesn’t matter if you are the champion or it’s your first ever game - anyone can win.”
This season, the club will play at two exceptional venues, Gillette Stadium and soccer-specific Centreville Bank Stadium, before moving into White Stadium in 2027. Both venues promise top-tier fan experiences across the 2026 season while allowing for flexibility dictated by a packed summer schedule, including the FIFA Men’s World Cup.
