Denver's first-ever professional women's soccer squad is set to debut in 2026, but first, it needs a name — and the National Women's Soccer League wants you to weigh in.

Why it matters: This is your chance to be a part of Denver sports history.

How it works: Fans can vote online from a shortlist shaped by community feedback. The contenders include:

Denver Peak FC
Colorado 14ers FC
Colorado Summit FC
Denver Elevate FC
Denver FC
Denver Gold FC

✍️ Write-in names are also welcome.

The intrigue: The big question is whether the name should rep Denver or Colorado, which fans are asked to decide.

What's next: "The Name The Club" campaign runs through Wednesday. Spokesperson Brendan Hannan tells us the final choice and team crest will likely be revealed closer to summertime.

The bottom line: Whatever the name, the excitement is real — the team said it's already broken NWSL records with thousands of season ticket deposits.
