NJ/NY Gotham FC announced a limited‑time $15 ticket promotion for the Queens Classic, the league‑champion’s marquee match against Washington Spirit at Citi Field on Wednesday, Aug. 14, 2026. The deal releases 4,000 seats on a first‑come, first‑served basis, aiming to draw thousands of working New Yorkers to one of the biggest nights in women’s soccer.

How did the ticket offer come about?

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani and Gotham FC unveiled the promotion together, emphasizing affordability for city residents. "The biggest events in our city should be affordable to the people who make this city run," Mamdani said. The mayor’s office hopes the $15 price point will fill the stadium and showcase the club’s growing fan base.

Why is the Queens Classic important for Gotham FC?

The Queens Classic pits the reigning NWSL champion against Washington Spirit, featuring U.S. Women’s National Team star Trinity Rodman. Gotham FC has already sold more than 34,000 tickets for the game, putting the match on track to break New York’s attendance record for a women’s sporting event. The club’s president, Mark Zarthar, noted the event reflects the city’s energy, ambition, and diversity while promoting the women’s game.

What does this mean for the club’s future home?

The ticket push follows the announcement that Gotham FC will move to a permanent, soccer‑specific stadium—Etihad Park in Queens—starting in 2028. The new venue will give the club a dedicated home in the five boroughs and solidify professional women’s soccer in the region. The Queens Classic serves as a preview of the fan experience the club envisions for its future home.

How can fans get the discounted tickets?

Fans must act fast; tickets are allocated on a first‑come, first‑served basis through the club’s website at GothamFC.com/Mayor. The promotion runs until the tickets are gone, so interested supporters should secure theirs early to join the celebration of Gotham FC’s historic season.
