ATLANTA (July 28, 2025) \u2013 The U.S. Women\u2019s National Team returns to the field in the October FIFA window for two matches against Portugal, on Thursday, Oct. 23 at Subaru Park in Chester, Pa. presented by AT&T (7 p.m. ET on TNT, truTV and HBO Max in English, on Peacock in Spanish and on the radio on Westwood One Sports) and on Sunday, Oct. 26 at Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field in East Hartford, Conn. (4 p.m. ET on TNT, truTV and HBO Max in English, Universo and Peacock in Spanish and on the radio on Westwood One Sports).<\/p>\n
The USWNT will then travel to Kansas City, Mo. to face an opponent to be determined on Wednesday, Oct. 29 in the USWNT\u2019s first-ever match at CPKC Stadium (8 p.m. ET \/ 7 p.m. CT on TNT, truTV and HBO Max in English, on Universo and Peacock in Spanish and on the radio on Westwood One Sports), the first purpose-built venue for women\u2019s soccer.<\/p>\n
As part of U.S. Soccer\u2019s commitment to the U.S. Way<\/a>, which prioritizes strategic investment in resources, infrastructure and holistic support for our Extended National Teams, the U.S. Men\u2019s Deaf National Team will feature in the first game of a doubleheader with the USWNT on Oct. 26 in Connecticut (1 p.m. ET with broadcast info TBA) against an international opponent to be determined. This is the second time a USWNT match has been partnered with a U.S. Deaf National Team for a doubleheader as the U.S. Women\u2019s Deaf National Team defeated Australia, 11-0, on June 1, 2024, in a first-of-its-kind event before the U.S. Women faced South Korea later that afternoon in Commerce City, Colo. The match will take place just two weeks prior to the team’s participation, alongside the U.S. Women\u2019s Deaf National Team, in the Deaflympics running from Nov. 14-25 in Tokyo.<\/p>\n \u201cPortugal is a growing team that will be highly motivated for these matches, but as always, these three games are more opportunities to work on us,\u201d said U.S. head coach Emma Hayes. \u201cI\u2019m very impressed with the progress we\u2019ve made since the Olympics and I want to give a lot of credit to the players for embracing our culture and ideas, but our staff and the players know we still have much work to do before World Cup qualifying next year.\u201d<\/p>\n Each of the first two matches will feature a pregame retirement celebration for a USWNT legend. Outside of Philadelphia, Alex Morgan, one of the greatest goal scorers in women\u2019s soccer history, will be honored in the same stadium in which she scored the first of her 123 international goals. The USA vs. Portugal match at Subaru Park will take place just a few weeks past the 15-year anniversary of Morgan\u2019s first-ever international goal, which came on Oct. 6, 2010, vs. China PR. Morgan announced her retirement from club and country last fall.<\/p>\n Connecticut native Alyssa Naeher, one of the greatest goalkeepers in U.S. and world history, who played a major role in the USA\u2019s gold medal run at the 2024 Olympics, will be honored in her home state before the match. Naeher, who announced her retirement from international soccer after the Olympics and played her final match in a U.S. uniform on Dec. 3, 2024, in a 2-1 win over Netherlands, is the only goalkeeper in soccer history to earn a shutout in a World Cup Final and an Olympic gold medal match.<\/p>\n As part of the celebrations honoring the two USWNT legends, limited-edition collectible bobbleheads of both players will be given to the first 2,000 fans through the gates at each of their respective matches, providing an exclusive keepsake commemorating their iconic careers and lasting legacies.<\/p>\n The meetings with Portugal will be the first since the final match of group play at the 2023 FIFA Women\u2019s World Cup, a 0-0 draw that was good enough to send the USA to the knockout round. It was Portugal\u2019s first-ever draw with the USA.<\/p>\n Morgan\u2019s first career USWNT goal came in the USA\u2019s first-ever visit to Chester, Pa. and this match marks the ninth all-time visit for the U.S. Women to this venue. The USA will be playing for the 10th time at Rentschler Field. The USWNT has never lost at either of these venues.<\/p>\n The U.S. Women do not often make appearances in venues that have never before hosted a USWNT match, but in Kansas City, the USA will play at CPKC Stadium for the first time. In this case, the match will be at an already historic women\u2019s soccer venue which opened in March of 2024 and is the home of the Kansas City Current of the National Women\u2019s Soccer League.<\/p>\n \u201cThe investment that Angie and Chris Long have made in their club and this venue is massively impressive, important for the future of the women\u2019s game in the USA and deserves to be rewarded with a match like this,\u201d said Hayes. \u201cI\u2019m looking forward to my first visit to the stadium and to an amazing atmosphere for the players that the Kansas City fans always bring. CPKC Stadium is a smaller venue than we usually play in, but in this instance, it\u2019s important to bring the National Team there.\u201d<\/p>\n TICKETS<\/strong><\/p>\n The presale for these matches will begin on Tuesday, July 29 at 10 a.m. local venue time and run to Friday, August 1 at 8 a.m. local venue time.<\/p>\n Tickets for all three matches will go on sale to the public on Friday, Aug. 1 at 10 a.m. local venue time.<\/p>\n Circle Insider members supporting the U.S. Soccer Development Fund can receive individual customer support and concierge services for their ticketing needs.
