Bay FC has officially released its full 2026 NWSL regular-season schedule, setting the club up for a home start at PayPal Park to open the year. The season begins on Saturday, March 14, when Bay FC hosts expansion side Denver Summit FC at PayPal Park, with kickoff listed at 3:30 p.m. PT and the match airing on ION. Bay FC is back at PayPal Park the following weekend for another high-profile home date, welcoming Angel City FC on Saturday, March 21.
League-wide, 2026 marks a major shift as the NWSL moves to a 30-match regular season and expands to 16 clubs, with Denver Summit FC and Boston Legacy FC joining the league. The schedule also includes a league-wide competition pause in June, with no regular-season matches staged from June 1 to June 28, including a CBA-mandated break and additional downtime tied to the 2026 FIFA Men’s World Cup being hosted across the U.S., Mexico, and Canada.
Bay FC enters the 2026 campaign under new head coach Emma Coates, as the club looks to take a step forward in year three and build momentum early with a strong start at home.
