Denver Summit FC
The Denver Summit FC is a future American professional soccer team based in the Denver metropolitan area, that will compete in the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) starting in 2026. It was accepted as an expansion team on January 30, 2025.
In July 2023, an investment group called For Denver FC, led by former soccer player Jordan Angeli, sports executive Tom Dunmore, and insurance executive Ben Hubbard, announced their plans to bid for a franchise in the NWSL or USL Super League. They were joined by IMA Financial Group CEO Robert Cohen and venture capitalist Nicole Glaros. Other members of the ownership group included Mellody Hobson and Jason Wright of Ariel Investments. For Denver FC had been founded in 2022 as a grassroots group and organized outreach events, including watch parties for the United States women's national team during the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup. In November 2024, the NWSL announced that Denver was one of three finalists, alongside Cincinnati and Cleveland, to become the league's 16th team which would begin play in 2026.
Denver was officially awarded the expansion bid by NWSL on January 30, 2025, and will join as the league's 16th team in the 2026 season. The ownership group, led by finance executive Rob Cohen, was reported by media outlets to have paid a league-record expansion fee of $110 million.
They are the first professional women's sports team in Colorado since the Colorado Xplosion of the American Basketball League folded in 1998.
On February 19, 2025, the ownership announced that the fans of the then-unnamed team would vote on the team's name with the following six names under consideration: Denver Peak FC, Colorado 14ers FC, Colorado Summit FC, Denver Elevate FC, Denver FC, and Denver Gold FC. On July 22, the team's ownership announced Denver Summit FC as the team's name.
On May 6, 2025, alpine skier and Vail native Mikaela Shiffrin joined the team's ownership group. On June 3, 2025, Pro Football Hall of Fame and former Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning also joined the ownership group.
On July 22, 2025, the team ownership unveiled the team's name, crest, and secondary logos. The crest features a red sky and yellow sun, emblematic of Colorado's sunsets and red rock formations, and green mountains angled at 26º to commemorate the year 2026, the inaugural year for the team. Secondary logos include one featuring "5280" (Denver's elevation above sea level) and the letter "D." The crest and secondary logos were designed by Matthew Wolff who had created logos for numerous other NWSL teams.
The team plans to build its own 14,500-seat soccer-specific stadium at Santa Fe Yards in Denver's Baker neighborhood, which would be completed in 2028.
