Gotham FC to Share Etihad Park with NYCFC from 2028

Gotham FC, the reigning NWSL champions, will play home games at Etihad Park in Queens, New York, beginning in 2028. The move places the team inside New York City limits for the first time, ending its tenure at Red Bull Arena in Harrison, New Jersey.

Etihad Park is a new, soccer-specific stadium being developed as part of the Willets Point redevelopment project. It will also serve as the home of New York City FC, making it a shared venue for both the men's and women's professional teams.

What this means for Gotham FC

Relocating to Queens gives Gotham FC a permanent base within New York City, potentially expanding its fan base and improving accessibility for supporters. The club has played in New Jersey since its inception in 2009, first at Yurcak Field and later at Red Bull Arena.

• Gotham FC will begin playing at Etihad Park in 2028.
• The stadium is located in Queens, New York, within NYC limits.
• Etihad Park will be shared with NYCFC of Major League Soccer.
• The move ends Gotham's long-term arrangement in New Jersey.
• The stadium is part of a larger redevelopment of Willets Point.

The arrangement underscores the growing investment in women's professional soccer and the increasing trend of sharing top-tier facilities between men's and women's clubs. Both teams will now have a modern, purpose-built home in the heart of the city's largest borough.
