5 Reasons to Attend Reign FC’s Seattle Home Opener on April 26
After starting the 2026 with five matches away from Lumen Field, Seattle Reign FC finally returns home on Sunday, April 26 to take on Utah Royals FC. This can’t-miss match is set to bring electric Reign FC matchdays back to the Emerald City – here are five reasons you should attend:
SURGING UP THE STANDINGS
Seattle Reign FC has started the 2026 in great form, picking up three wins, one loss and one draw to start the season, without ever stepping foot on their home field. Veteran leadership from the likes of Jess Fishlock, Sofia Huerta and Brittany Ratcliffe has provided a stable base for the team to build on, propelled further by the younger core of the team, like Maddie Mercado, who has already added two goals this season, and Emeri Adames and Ainsley McCammon, both of whom have recorded an assist. The talent on this squad runs deep – don’t miss it.
The Reign currently sit third in the league standings. With a win on Sunday coupled with favorable results elsewhere, they could jump into first place in the NWSL Shield race.
HOME SWEET HOME
There’s no place like home. The Reign are eager to return to the friendly confines of Lumen Field after five matches away from Seattle. Though the team settled into ONE Spokane Stadium well, making a home away from home in the Lilac City, the atmosphere of Lumen Field can’t truly be replicated. In addition to a fresh new playing surface for the team and the comfortable environment they know and love, it’s the fans that make this venue so strong. It’s been nearly 200 days since Reign FC played in front of a home crowd at Lumen Field and the team is ready to feel the support of its passionate supporters once again.
EXPANDING ON MATCHDAY
Reign FC matchday is back and better than ever. In addition to the same activations fans know and love, like poster-making, face painting and a family-friendly Kids Zone, there will be even more to experience around the stadium. From chances to win experiences and prizes, to new and exciting partner activations, it’s can’t-miss programming.

ON THE PITCH VS. UTAH

That match was a 2-1 victory with goals from Ainsley McCammon and Sofia Huerta. This season, the Royals have not lost a match by more than one goal, earning a 2-2-1 record to start 2026. They’ve recorded six goals with two apiece from Mina Tanaka, Lara Prasnikar and Tatum Milazzo, and have conceded just as many
