Etihad Park
Etihad Park is a soccer-specific stadium under construction in the Willets Point neighborhood of Queens, New York City. The stadium is the future home of New York City FC of Major League Soccer (MLS) and Gotham FC of the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL).
Etihad Park was designed by the architecture firm HOK. Construction started in December 2024, and is expected to be completed before the 2027–28 Major League Soccer season. New York City FC is shouldering a projected $780 million in building costs. The site land has been leased to the club rather than sold, waiving the City government's ability to collect a projected $516 million in property taxes over the 50-year term of the lease.
