Kick-off is set for at 7 p.m. ET.

Stacked with superstars, Gotham FC has U.S. Women's National Team forward Lynn Williams - who just broke the NWSL's all-time, all-competitions goal-scoring record, and goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger - who recently transferred to Gotham from Chelsea and has led the club to a five-game unbeaten streak since her first appearance. Chelsea boasts USWNT forward Cat Macário and veteran defender Millie Bright - who captained England's Lioness to the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup Final.

The showcase event will arrive in the tri-state area as the two clubs unite to elevate and champion the professional women's game, its players, and women's sports, working hand-in-hand towards Gotham FC's vision to become the global capital of women's soccer and Chelsea FC's aims to continue to grow its audience in the U.S.
