NEW YORK (February 26, 2026) - The National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) and Nike today launched a new suite of jerseys for the 2026 season. Designed with an equal focus on community, aesthetic expression and elite performance, the collection brings together advanced on-field innovation, bold visual identities and club-driven storytelling.

New for 2026, select clubs introduced third kits, expanding their respective visual identities beyond traditional home and away designs. Long embraced across global soccer as a platform for creative expression, third kits offer clubs greater flexibility to experiment with color, pattern, and storytelling, providing fans with fresh ways to connect with their teams throughout the season.

The 2026 collection also includes updated designs for goalkeeper kits and introduces inaugural uniforms for Denver Summit FC and Boston Legacy FC, both of which will kick off their debut NWSL campaigns this season.

Across the league, this year’s suite of jerseys is informed by local narratives and regional identity, while also exploring vibrant new color palettes. Built for the modern game, all 2026 authentic kits feature Nike DRI-FIT ADV technology, engineered to deliver enhanced breathability, flexibility, and moisture management so players can perform at their best in every moment.

“With all eyes on soccer in North America in 2026, we wanted designs that truly stand out and reflect the growing cultural momentum around the sport,” said NWSL VP of Consumer Products Katie Eaton. “These kits celebrate local pride and capture the energy, culture and passion that fuel our league, the communities behind it and the sport’s continued growth.”

As the official banking partner of the NWSL and a committed catalyst to the growth of women's sports, Ally Financial remains proudly featured on the left sleeve of each authentic kit.

Beginning February 26, fans can shop both authentic and replica versions of the new jerseys on NWSLShop.com, with replica styles continuing to offer expanded sizing. All jerseys will be fully customizable, allowing supporters to personalize jerseys with any NWSL athlete competing during the 2026 campaign.

The new kits arrive as the league prepares to kick off the 2026 regular season on March 13, set for another landmark year. Building on sustained growth in attendance, viewership, and fan engagement, the NWSL enters 2026 with momentum driven by both on-field excellence and off-field cultural impact.
