The National Women's Soccer League is undergoing a significant venue realignment as the Washington Spirit have secured Audi Field as their new home, while Gotham FC will relocate to the 5,000-seat Icahn Stadium. The moves represent a major shift in the league's stadium landscape for the upcoming season.
Audi Field, located in Washington, D.C., has been the home of D.C. United in Major League Soccer since 2018 and will now host the Spirit's home matches. Meanwhile, Gotham FC, based in the New York metropolitan area, will play at Icahn Stadium on Randall's Island, a facility with a considerably smaller capacity of 5,000 seats.
The venue changes come as the NWSL continues to navigate stadium arrangements across its markets, with teams seeking facilities that meet league standards while balancing availability, location, and fan accessibility.
