Etihad Park is a soccer-specific stadium under construction in the Willets Point neighborhood of Queens, New York City. The stadium is the future home of New York City FC of Major League Soccer (MLS), who currently play home games at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, and Citi Field across the street in Queens.
Etihad Park is designed by the architecture firm HOK. Construction started in December 2024 and is expected to be completed before the 2027 season. The club is shouldering a projected $780 million in building costs. New York City will miss out on a projected $516 million in lost property tax revenue, as the site land has been leased to the club rather than sold.
The naming rights are owned by Etihad Airways, the current jersey sponsors of the club.
