Professional Women’s Soccer Is Coming to Denver:
What You Need to Know About the New NWSL Team
Exciting news for soccer fans and Denver locals—professional women’s soccer is officially coming to the Mile High City! The National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) has awarded its 16th franchise to Denver, marking a historic moment as the first major professional women’s sports team in Colorado.

Why the Professional Women’s Team in Denver Is a Game-Changer
While Denver is already home to iconic teams like the Broncos, Nuggets, Rockies, and Avalanche, the addition of a women’s professional soccer team elevates the city’s sports profile. Here’s why this matters:
- Economic boost for local businesses
- Increased tourism and event-driven foot traffic
- Potential property value growth near the future stadium
- Enhanced visibility for women’s sports in Colorado
It’s been over two decades since a new professional team was introduced in Denver—this one could make a major difference. Stay up to date with local real estate and economic trends right here on our blog.
