I’m still calling them the Breakers and you can’t stop me:

A record-setting 30,207 fans, which included City of Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, gathered inside Gillette Stadium to witness the return of professional women’s soccer to Boston for the first time since the Boston Breakers folded in 2018. While the iconic sports stadium is technically in the town of Foxborough, the moment was a true homecoming for Beantown’s newest NWSL club, the Boston Legacy FC, who kicked off their first match of the 2026 season against the league’s reigning champs, Gotham FC.

Good game overall. I kept saying the ref wasn’t calling anything the whole game and that he’d lose control later on. And like clockwork, the yellow cards come flying, setting an NWSL record if I remember right. Good competitive premiere game nonetheless!
