Overview

  • Denver Summit FC announced a multi-year agreement with Lindsey Heaps that runs through the 2029 season.
  • Heaps will complete OL Lyonnes’ 2025–26 campaign and arrive in June, with any debut timing shaped by the NWSL’s June World Cup break and the league schedule.
  • A team spokesperson said it remains undecided whether to use the NWSL’s High Impact Player mechanism as part of her deal.
  • Club leaders called the signing a defining acquisition that brings a decorated midfielder and the USWNT captain’s leadership to the inaugural roster.
  • Denver says it has sold out its season-ticket allotment and surpassed 25,000 tickets for the March 28 home opener at Empower Field at Mile High, slated to air on CBS.
