JERSEY CITY, N.J. (May 21, 2026) - Reigning NWSL champion Gotham FC announced Thursday that the club is at 20,000 tickets and counting for The Queens Classic at Citi Field, presented by CarMax, bearing down on New York City’s attendance record for a women’s sporting event.

The milestone comes as excitement builds around the NWSL Championship rematch between Gotham FC and the rival Washington Spirit, set for July 15 at Citi Field. Kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET with ESPN carrying the national broadcast.

To celebrate 20,000 tickets, a limited-time flash sale featuring $20 tickets is available for the next 24 hours, concluding at 10 a.m. ET on May 22.
