Bay FC drew a sold-out crowd of 40,091 to Oracle Park, setting a new NWSL and United States women's professional sports attendance record. The previous high was 35,038 at Wrigley Field in June 2024. Bay FC normally plays at PayPal Park in San Jose, where it averages over 13,400 fans per match. The club framed the turnout as a foundation for a lasting legacy and as shaping the future of women's football. On the field, Washington Spirit scored three first-half goals; Bay FC scored twice but could not avoid a sixth straight winless match.
Breaking the NWSL attendance record is a historic moment that extends far beyond a single match. It represents the foundation we are building at Bay FC and the legacy we hope to leave for future generations of players and fans. By pushing boundaries today, we are shaping what women's football will look like tomorrow. Special thanks to each and every Bay Area fan. You made this historic moment possible.
