Boston Legacy FC Unveils New Name for 2026 NWSL

Boston's new National Women's Soccer League expansion team has changed its name to Boston Legacy Football Club after the initial BOS Nation FC name faced widespread backlash. The name was chosen following extensive fan feedback and consultations over five months, emphasizing Boston's sporting legacy and future innovation potential. The club aims to honor the city's history while focusing on building a new legacy for future generations. The decision followed criticism of the previous marketing campaign 'Too Many Balls', which was perceived as insensitive to existing women's sports teams and lacked inclusivity. The team will begin playing in 2026 and plans to reveal a new crest and wordmark soon. The Boston Legacy FC hopes to create an inclusive environment and has already involved community advisors in its branding process.
