The Denver Summit have kicked off their inaugural season by making history.

Denver broke the ​NWSL single-game attendance record ‌Saturday, as 63,004 fans attended the club’s contest at Empower Field against the Washington Spirit.

Bay FC set the ‌previous ​record in August 2025 ⁠when they hosted ⁠a crowd of 40,091 at Oracle Park. No other team has eclipsed a crowd of ​40,000 in NWSL history.

The Summit will move on from Empower ⁠Field after Saturday’s ⁠game, as they’ll continue ​their first-ever season at Dick’s Sporting ​Goods Park until the FIFA World ‌Cup and NWSL break. The stadium has a capacity of roughly 18,000.

Denver will then play ⁠the rest of its matches at the brand-new Centennial Stadium, which will serve ⁠as ‌the club’s home until ⁠2028. Centennial Stadium will ​have ‌a capacity of 12,000.

The Summit ​entered their ⁠match against the Spirit with five points thanks to a record of 1-2-1. The game ended in a deadlock 0-0 tie.
