New York City FC’s match against Columbus Crew on Saturday, August 9 has been rescheduled due to required field maintenance at Citi Field. The match has been rescheduled for Wednesday, September 17 at Yankee Stadium. Additionally, the Club’s match on Friday, September 19 against Charlotte FC has been moved back one day to Saturday, September 20 and will remain at Yankee Stadium.
Kickoff times for both the September 17 match vs. Columbus Crew and September 20 vs. Charlotte FC will be announced as soon as possible.
Following a high volume of events at Citi Field and the intense heat and weather conditions in New York City, the stadium’s grass sustained considerable wear and tear in recent weeks. To ensure the best and safest playing surface for all athletes, the field has been resodded. As a result, only baseball events are permitted at Citi Field for a minimum of three weeks while the field fully recovers.
“Due to circumstances beyond our control, our match at Citi Field on August 9 needs to be rescheduled,” said Brad Sims, New York City FC CEO. “We are grateful to our partners at the New York Yankees for their help and for making Yankee Stadium available for these matches. However, we understand and apologize for the inconvenience this causes our loyal fans and would like to thank them for their continued support and understanding as we navigate this period before Etihad Park opens in 2027.”
As part of the rescheduled matches, the match on Wednesday, September 17 against Columbus Crew will serve as the Club’s annual Noche Latina match, presented by Goya. Additionally, our match on Saturday, September 20 will now be our Kids Day match, presented by MetroPlusHealth.
