Bay FC is set to make soccer history this summer as they host the Washington Spirit at Oracle Park, home of the San Francisco Giants. This groundbreaking moment marks the first time a professional women’s soccer team will play a regular-season NWSL match at this landmark stadium, signaling a bold step forward for women’s sports in the Bay Area.
Oracle Park is no stranger to soccer
More than just a match, the event at Oracle Park reflects Bay FC’s ambition to elevate the profile of women’s soccer and unite fans across San Francisco and beyond. With a seating capacity of over 40,000, this game represents an opportunity for Bay Area residents to witness some of the world’s top players in one of the city’s most beloved venues.
The game is part of a growing movement to bring professional women’s sports into major markets and historic stadiums. Giving fans the chance to experience the action at an entirely new scale.
Bay FC’s rapid rise and community impact
Since joining the NWSL, Bay FC has quickly become one of the league’s most talked-about teams. In just their second season, they’ve already shattered attendance records and brought international stars to the Bay.
In fact, this won’t be the first time the team has played in an MLB stadium. A league-record 35,038 fans attended Bay FC’s match against the Chicago Stars at Wrigley Field last year. Hosting a game at Oracle Park is another example of how the club continues to push boundaries. And this time, they’re doing it in the heart of San Francisco.
When & where to watch?
This event has the potential to set a new league attendance record with the stadium seating over 40,000. The match will be televised nationally on CBS, and fans can expect a high level of competition and an electric atmosphere on August 23.
The match against the Washington Spirit features some of the best players in the league, including several with international experience. The event is included in Bay FC’s season ticket plans, with general ticket sales opening soon.
