Northern Super League opens sales of season tickets for 2025 kickoff

The fledgling Northern Super League gets an early feel for its appeal starting Thursday, with all six clubs now taking deposits for season tickets.

The women's pro soccer league, set to kick off next April, is offering fans a first crack at a season ticket if they put down $50 per seat. Seat selection priority, likely in October, will be determined by the order in which deposits are received.

The deposit is not refundable but if not used for a season ticket, can be used for a credit for a single-game ticket or other ticket packages as they are made available.

League president Christina Litz called the start of the season-ticket deposit campaign "a very important step in our fan evolution."

"We're all excited to see how this does. But look, we're here for the long haul," she said. "I think it's really important that as we see these bursts of excitement around women's sports and new leagues and new teams, we have to keep the perspective that long-term fan growth and the development of the league takes time.

"We have a group of owners at our clubs who are committed to building, so this takes many many steps. But suffice to say we're not going anywhere. This is the beginning of professional women's soccer in Canada and we're not going back."

In its inaugural season, the NSL will feature Vancouver Rise FC, Calgary Wild FC, AFC Toronto, Ottawa Rapid FC, Halifax Tides FC and a Montreal franchise that has yet to reveal its full name. Each club will host 12 or 13 home games in the inaugural 2025 season.

Halifax has already started accepting ticket deposits.

"If Halifax is any sign of the enthusiasm, the market is ready for this and excited," said
