Tampa Bay's New Women's Soccer Team Kicks Off Its Inaugural Season — Here's How to Get Tickets and What to Expect

TAMPA, FL — Tampa Bay has a brand-new professional sports team, and it plays its first home games this spring. The Tampa Bay Sun FC, Tampa Bay's inaugural National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) team, is now in its first season — and it's already generating serious buzz across the region.

The Sun FC joined the NWSL as an expansion team and represents one of the most significant additions to Tampa Bay's professional sports scene in years. Home matches are played at Al Lang Stadium in St. Petersburg, a waterfront venue that seats around 7,000 and offers one of the best in-person sports atmospheres in the region.

Why This Is Worth Going To

NWSL matches are family-friendly, affordable, and genuinely exciting. Tickets are far more accessible than Lightning, Buccaneers, or Rays games, and the waterfront setting at Al Lang Stadium makes for a great night out. For Wesley Chapel families looking for something different to do on a weekend, this is an easy road trip to St. Pete.

Getting There from Wesley Chapel

Al Lang Stadium is about 45–50 minutes from Wesley Chapel via I-75 South to I-275. Parking is available near the waterfront. The SunRunner bus rapid transit line connects downtown St. Pete to the stadium area if you prefer to park and ride.
