BOS Nation FC Announced as NWSL's 15th Team

Boston's new National Women's Soccer League team, BOS Nation Football Club, is set to begin play in 2026, with its name being an anagram of 'Bostonian' to reflect the city's diverse fan base. Led by the Boston Unity Soccer Partners, an all-female ownership group, the team plans to use a renovated White Stadium in Franklin Park as its home ground, despite some local opposition and legal challenges over the stadium's refurbishment. The team’s colors include 'championship green' and a variety of accent colors symbolizing Boston's diversity. Notable investors such as actress Elizabeth Banks and Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman have joined the ownership group, emphasizing the team's commitment to promoting women's sports. The franchise will become the NWSL's 15th team, following the Utah Royals and Bay FC, marking a significant return for professional women's soccer to Boston after the Boston Breakers folded in 2018.
