Denver launches fan vote to help name newest women’s professional soccer league
DENVER, Colo. (KRDO) – The newest National Women's Soccer League team is coming to Denver in 2026, and the league needs your help naming it!
In January, Gov. Jared Polis announced that NWSL's 16th team was coming to Denver. According to our Denver news partners, the city paid a $110 million expansion fee – the largest expansion fee ever paid in U.S. women's sports.
Recently, Denver NWSL launched an online fan vote for the team's name, allowing supporters to choose from six names with the option to write in their own ideas.
Your club. Your name. Your vote.
