NWSL Boston

NWSL Boston is a planned soccer club located in Boston, Massachusetts. The club is planning to debut in the National Women's Soccer League in 2026.

Background
The Boston Breakers competed in Women's Professional Soccer from 2009 to 2011. The league folded in early 2012, and that year, the Breakers competed in the Women's Premier Soccer League Elite. After one season, the club joined the National Women's Soccer League for its inaugural season in 2013. The club folded after the 2017 season with reports generally blaming a lack of marketing and resultant limited fanbase.

2026 expansion bid
On September 19, 2023, an NWSL expansion team was announced, with a planned start date in 2026. The ownership group of the winning bid, Boston Unity Soccer Partners (BUSP), is an all-female ownership group led by Jennifer Epstein, Stephanie Connaughton, Ami Danoff, and Anna Palmer. The team will play home matches in White Stadium in Franklin Park, Boston.

The city of Boston planned to commit up to $50 million towards the stadium's renovation, and BUSP pledged $30 million. The stadium is to be the first venue in the country which will be home to a major league sports franchise and the athletic program of a public high school. The stadium will be shared with Boston Public Schools track and soccer. American football matches will be prohibited at the field during the professional soccer season, although high school football will be played on the field for playoffs and Thanksgiving games.
