Denver Summit Football Club is the official name for Denver's NWSL
The football club said the name was selected after receiving the most first-place votes in the Name The Club fan vote, in which 15,000 people participated.
The team will begin playing in January 2026.
"We are pleased to unveil Denver Summit FC as our name and to share our crest and colors with Colorado and the world," said Denver Summit FC President Jen Millet in a statement. "It was vital for us to name our club in collaboration with our community. Our crest, colors, and brand are representative of Denver and all of Colorado. It embraces our aspirational goals and pioneering spirit to build the best soccer club in the world."
Denver NWSL broke ground on its official training center last month. The 43-acre site will be built in partnership with the City of Centennial and the Cherry Creek School District.
The site will feature a proposed 12,000-seat temporary stadium and an approximately 20,000-square-foot training facility that is described as "purpose-built for professional women's sports."
Earlier this year, Denver NWSL announced plans for a new 14,500-seat stadium near I-25 and Broadway that is expected to open in 2028.

Ex-Red Sox pitcher retires after attempting MLB comeback
Daniel Bard won't make another MLB comeback after all. The longtime pitcher retired on Saturday, according to the MLB transaction page. In May, Bard threw in front about 10 teams. WEEI's Rob Bradford noted the former Boston Red Sox pitcher drew 'significant interest' from Western Division teams. But a deal never came to fruition. Bard, 40, missed the entire 2024 campaign after he underwent surgery on his right elbow flexor tendon. It was thought to be a potential career-ending injury. Bard spent five seasons with the Red Sox — his last being 2013. He retired in 2018 before the pitcher returned to the mound in 2020 with the Colorado Rockies, where he spent four seasons and was named the 2020 Comeback Player of the Year. In 2023, the last time Bard pitched in an MLB game, he amassed a 4.56 ERA with 47 strikeouts in 50 games.

You've got to understand, some of the young [players] I haven't even met yet. I'm so excited about that." On July 20, Sanders said this in a video posted by his son, Deion Sanders Jr.: "You know I'm still going through something. . . . I ain't all the way recovered."
