The Boston Legacy FC will begin playing in the NWSL in 2026 along with the expansion team Denver Summit FC, which will bring the league to 16 teams.

• The team will play its home games at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, in 2026.
• The team plans to move to White Stadium within the city limits of Boston in 2027. The renovation shared with the city and the Boston Public School was originally scheduled to be completed in the spring of 2026, but suffered several delays.

Williams has thrown eight touchdowns and two interceptions this year for the Bears, who have a 2-2 record so far. He played in 17 games for Chicago as a rookie last year, throwing 20 touchdowns and six interceptions. Boston Legacy also has an athlete advisory board that includes Aliyah Boston, former USWNT players and World Cup winners Kristine Lilly and Sam Mewis, and former WNBA player turned Celtics executive Allison Feaster.
