The Red Stars’ match June 8 against Bay FC will be the first National Women’s Soccer League game to be played at the ballpark.
Kickoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. and the match will be broadcast on ION.
Cubs president of business operations Crane Kenney said in a statement the team is thrilled to welcome the Red Stars to the ballpark and they are “proud to join forces with the Red Stars to bring this event to life for the players, fans and our city.” Red Stars executive chairperson Laura Ricketts is also co-owner of the Cubs with her family. Marquee Sports Network, owned by the Cubs, and the Red Stars announced last month that 15 of their games would air live on their platforms, including 10 on the network.
“Wrigley Field is one of the most iconic sports venues in the country. This is a unique opportunity for us to bring further visibility to our team and women’s soccer,” Red Stars goalkeeper and team captain Alyssa Naeher said in a statement. “Chicago has always been an incredible sports town with such a rich history.
