NJ/NY Gotham FC is getting closer to playing their first game of 2026. The team will play in the FIFA Women's Champions Cup in England, playing two matches starting on January 28. Then, the Challenge Cup will take place on February 20, and the NWSL season will begin in March. In other words, fans are getting closer to seeing the ladies play regularly again.
There are still questions regarding the roster and whether the Bats will bring in others. As of now, most of last year's squad is back, and with some new players like Talia Sommer, it might be possible that only a few more moves are made.
