Bay FC prepares for historic NWSL match at Oracle Park

In a significant development for women's soccer in the United States, Bay FC is set to host the Washington Spirit at Oracle Park in San Francisco. Scheduled for August 23, 2025, this event marks the first time a professional women's soccer match will be held at the iconic venue, which has a capacity of 42,300. Bay FC, in its second NWSL season, is keen to engage with fans from across the Bay Area in this prominent and historical setting as they aim to break attendance records. In their inaugural season, Bay FC achieved a remarkable feat by becoming the winningest expansion side in NWSL history, securing 10 wins. Their upcoming match against the Spirit will be the second encounter of the 2025 regular season and the fifth overall matchup between the two clubs. Currently standing in eighth place in the NWSL with a record of 2-1-2, Bay FC continues to demonstrate the growth in popularity and support for women's soccer. The Spirit, on the other hand, is currently holding the third spot in the league standings. With this event, both teams hope to attract an audience exceeding 40,000, which would set a new attendance record for the NWSL. The match is included in Season Ticket Members’ plans and will have a pre-sale opportunity available on April 30, with general ticket sales starting on May 6. Bay FC CEO Brady Stewart expressed his gratitude to the San Francisco Giants for their continued support and emphasized the importance of connecting with fans through such remarkable opportunities. Oracle Park, home to the San Francisco Giants since 2000, has hosted a range of significant sporting events and concerts, making it a fitting venue for this groundbreaking match. With the national attention from the media and broadcast partners such as CBS, the event signifies a major milestone for both women's professional soccer and the Bay Area community. Fans and players alike are eager to witness this historic moment and support the growth of women's sports in the NWSL.
