New York City FC to Build New Soccer Stadium in Queens by 2027

The stadium, part of the larger Willets Point redevelopment project, will feature 2,500 affordable housing units, a school, and retail spaces.

The New York City Planning Commission unanimously approved the construction of a new 25,000-seat stadium for New York City FC, set to open in 2027.
The stadium will be located across from Citi Field in Queens and is part of a broader redevelopment project aiming to transform Willets Point.
In addition to the stadium, the project includes 2,500 affordable housing units, a 250-key hotel, a 650-seat elementary school, and retail areas.
The stadium, dubbed 'The Cube,' will feature a state-of-the-art, all-LED main entryway and aims to be the country's first 100% electric soccer stadium.
The project has received initial approval and is awaiting further endorsements from the New York City Council and Mayor Eric Adams.
