The team's main color is green, with a color scheme similar to that of Boston Legacy FC and the Boston Fleet.

Founding
On October 21, 2025, the WPBL announced that Boston would be one of the league's four inaugural teams, alongside New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.[1] Boston was chosen because of its loyal baseball fan base and rich history.[2]
The team does not have a name yet. Its main color is green, with a color scheme similar to that of Boston Legacy FC and the Boston Fleet.[3]
In November 2025, the team selected catcher Hyeonah Kim of South Korea with the fourth overall pick of the inaugural WPBL draft.[4]
2026
The team will not play in Boston during the 2026 WPBL season. Instead, Robin Roberts Stadium in Springfield, Illinois, will be used as a neutral venue for the season.[5] League co-founder Keith Stein has stated that there is a chance of home games being introduced in subsequent seasons.[6]
