DENVER ~ Denver, CO - In an exciting announcement today, Governor Jared Polis, along with representatives from the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL), Mayor Mike Johnston, and team owners, celebrated Colorado securing the bid to be the home of the newest NWSL team.
Governor Polis expressed his enthusiasm for the addition of a professional women's soccer team in Colorado. He stated, "We are thrilled to welcome a new professional women's soccer team to our state. Colorado is already home to great sports teams and with this new addition, we will continue to inspire our fans. Just as we support all of our professional teams, I know that Colorado will show up for the league's newest NWSL women's soccer team. I can't wait to catch my first game."
The NWSL's 16th team is set to begin playing in 2026 and beat out competing bids from Cleveland and Cincinnati. This expansion comes on the heels of a 2025 team in Massachusetts and 2024 expansion teams in Utah and California.

Mayor Johnston also expressed his excitement for Denver becoming home to a professional women's soccer team. He stated, "Despite producing some of the world's greatest players and being home to the best sports fans in the country, Denver has been deprived of its own professional women's team. That changes today. We're proud to announce that professional women's soccer is coming to Denver and that generations of Denverites will soon be able to cheer on the nation's top talent in their own backyard."
Through a collaborative community effort, Denver NWSL will become the first women's professional sports team in Denver. The team name, crest, and colors will be announced at a later date.
NWSL Commissioner Jessica Berman spoke about why Denver was chosen as the location for their 16th team. She said, "As the NWSL continues its rapid growth, we knew it was critical to launch our 16th team in a city with a passionate sports culture and vibrant fan base, and Denver is the perfect match. The club's plans for a purpose-built stadium and state-of-the-art training facility demonstrate a commitment to providing world-class environments for our players and fans alike. With this ownership group's vision and dedication, we are confident that Denver NWSL will set new standards for excellence on and off the pitch, inspiring the next generation of players and supporters across the Rocky Mountain region."

Our goal is to work closely with Denver's diverse communities to build a club that will operate with integrity and excellence from day one. We look forward to collaborating with our community to make Denver NWSL an inclusive and special club that all of Colorado can rally behind."
With this exciting news, Colorado can look forward to cheering on their own professional women's soccer team in 2026.
