Bay FC set to break NWSL attendance record
Briefly

Bay FC anticipates officially surpassing the NWSL single-game attendance record at Oracle Park against the Washington Spirit, aiming for more than 40,000 attendees and already selling over 35,000 tickets. The club normally hosts matches at PayPal Park, averaging about 13,400 fans, and previously drew a league-record 35,038 at Wrigley Field. Bay FC has gone five games without a win but remains three points outside the final playoff spot after a 2-1 loss to San Diego Wave FC. The NWSL now accounts for 48 of the top 50 most-attended matches in U.S. women's professional league sports, and the league will host the 2025 NWSL Championship in the Bay Area.
We are incredibly proud of what this match means for Bay FC, for the Bay Area, and for the NWSL. To set a new attendance record is a reflection of the passion and energy our fans bring every time we step on the field. This is about more than just a match, it is about pushing boundaries and creating something bigger than ourselves. Everyone who is at Oracle Park Saturday has the chance to be part of history, and together show the world what's possible in women's sports.
This is a landmark moment not just for Bay FC or the NWSL, but for the future of women's professional sports in the United States. Breaking the league's single-match attendance record at a venue as iconic as Oracle Park is a testament to the growing demand, passion and momentum behind our league.
