Boston Legacy FC, set to debut in the NWSL in 2026, will play its first season at Gillette Stadium because of delays in the construction of its new home at White Stadium. Originally scheduled to be completed by March 2026, White Stadium is experiencing setbacks, including legal challenges. The team decided against a midseason venue switch and will be competing during a pivotal year for women's soccer, coinciding with the FIFA Men's World Cup in 2026.
Boston Legacy FC's ownership group is renovating the dilapidated White Stadium in Boston's Franklin Park as part of a unique -- and controversial -- public-private partnership with Boston Public Schools.
White Stadium construction is well underway, but construction will not be finished by March of 2026, the statement continued.
