First Coast’s first women’s pro soccer club launches four-match packs and unveils theme nights for historic debut
Sporting JAX announced that it has sold over 6,000 season tickets ahead of its inaugural season in the Gainbridge Super League. In response to high demand, the club has moved its public on-sale date for single-match tickets from August 1 to Thursday, July 24. Fans are encouraged to act quickly to secure seats for this landmark season in Jacksonville sports history. Additionally, each home match at the University of North Florida’s Hodges Stadium will feature a unique theme night to celebrate community, culture, and the unifying power of sport.
“We’ve been floored by the incredible response from the First Coast community since launching our season ticket sales in April,” said Steve Livingstone, President & CEO of Sporting JAX. “With rising demand and only 9,400 seats at Hodges Stadium, we want everyone to have a chance to be part of this historic first season. But our club has always stood for something bigger than soccer, and our themed match nights reflect the spirit of the First Coast to ensure every fan feels seen, inspired and connected.”
Fans will still have access to 16-match season ticket packages, opening four-match packs and group tickets for parties of 10 or more at lower prices (with season ticket benefits included). Starting July 24, all matches on the 2025/2026 schedule will be available for individual game purchases.
Sporting JAX has also announced an exciting lineup of themed home matches for the 2025/2026 debut season, featuring unique celebrations designed to bring soccer fans together to lift every voice. The season will showcase world-class competition and dynamic matchday experiences that reflect and uplift Jacksonville’s vibrant community.
