Gotham FC to Host NWSL Semifinal at Icahn Stadium
JERSEY CITY, N.J. (Nov. 9, 2026) – Gotham FC will host its NWSL semifinal on Sunday at Icahn Stadium on Randall’s Island in Manhattan, the club announced Monday.
The decision comes amid concerns about the quality of the playing surface at Sports Illustrated Stadium, Gotham FC’s home venue.
Kickoff against the Kansas City Current is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET, with ABC and ESPN Deportes carrying the national broadcast.
Tickets will go on sale at 3 p.m. ET for Blueprint members. Visit GothamFC.com for more ticketing information.
“For the first time in club history, our players have earned the right to host a semifinal match at home, and our fans have earned the opportunity to be part of that historic moment,” said Gotham FC Governor Carolyn Tisch Blodgett. “Unfortunately, given the field conditions, we have made the extremely difficult decision to relocate our semifinal game to Icahn Stadium. We exhausted every possible avenue before making this decision, and we are deeply disappointed that so many of our fans will now be unable to experience this moment alongside our team. Our players deserve a playing surface that meets the standards of a professional semifinal, and our fans deserve the opportunity to support them. We have worked tirelessly to deliver on both and are disappointed that we cannot. We are grateful to Icahn Stadium for working with us on such short notice to ensure our team has a place to compete for a Championship spot on Sunday.”

Washington Spirit avert scheduling crisis, keep NWSL semi-final at Audi Field; Gotham venue TBD
The Washington Spirit will play their NWSL semi-final at Audi Field after the club reached a deal to avoid playing a playoff game at Northwest Stadium, home of the NFL’s Washington Commanders. Top-seeded Gotham FC, meanwhile, will play their game at the 5,000-seat Icahn Stadium on Randall’s Island in New York City because of poor pitch quality at Sports Illustrated Stadium, their usual home.
The Spirit will play their semi-final against the Utah Royals on 14 November (Saturday) at noon, while Gotham FC will host the Kansas City Current on Sunday at 3pm.
The NWSL has had to maneuver through significant venue-availability conflicts in the past few days, balancing two sought-after national television broadcast windows with issues at the stadiums of the semi-finalists with home field advantage. Many of the teams in the league are not the primary tenants or owners of their stadium, meaning they are not able to exert full control or say over scheduling or conditions.
