The New York Empire will play their final home game of the 2021 regular season this Friday, August 20 at 7:00pm at Joseph F. Fosina Field. They’ll take on the Boston Glory for the first time in franchise history.
 
The first ever meeting between Boston and New York was originally scheduled for Week 7, though the game was postponed due to weather in Boston. That game has been rescheduled for August 29; the teams will play twice in the next two weeks to end the regular season. With a storied sports rivalry between the two cities, the stage is set for a pivotal Week 12 game in New York—the Empire will earn a home playoff game if they can beat Boston in their final two games. 
 
Following their Week 8 loss to Atlanta, the Empire are now on a four-game winning streak. At 8-2 on the season, they’ve lost just twice since the start of 2019, and they haven’t lost at home in over three years. Still a championship contender, they’ll face the toughest competition they’ve seen in recent years in this year’s playoffs; all four Atlantic Division playoff teams currently sit at either 8-2 or 8-3.

Tickets for this game are available at the official team store.
