NJ/NY Gotham FC is reportedly exploring a move from New Jersey to New York City as early as the 2027 or 2028 season. The club has held discussions about becoming a tenant at Etihad Park, New York City FC's new 25,000-seat soccer-specific stadium under construction in Queens.

What's behind the potential move?

The potential relocation follows a series of branding changes that have emphasized New York over New Jersey. The club has quietly dropped the “NJ/NY” designation from its name, now marketing itself simply as Gotham FC.

How will this affect the team's presence in New Jersey?

Despite reports of a possible stadium move, NJ/NY Gotham FC continues to invest heavily in New Jersey. The club is moving forward with a privately funded $35 million renovation of its training facility in Whippany.

What's the current state of the team?

As of June 29, 2026, NJ/NY Gotham FC is 8th in the NWSL Women standings with 36 points from 26 games, having scored 35 goals and conceded 25. The team is 29 points behind leaders Kansas City W.
