Railyards Stadium, Soccer stadium in Sacramento Railyards, US
Railyards Stadium, also called Republic FC Stadium, is a soccer-specific ground under construction at the Sacramento Railyards, planned as a 20,000+ seat venue with four free-standing stands on each side of the pitch and no roof. Main circulation is at ground level, with connectors between the stands at an elevated level. It is intended as the home of Sacramento Republic FC.
Sacramento Republic FC announced on September 17, 2014, that it intended to buy land at the Sacramento Railyards infill project for a soccer stadium. HNTB was hired as lead architect and the first design, partly shaped by fan input, was revealed on December 1, 2015. The City Council gave its official go-ahead on November 10, 2016, and unanimously approved construction on June 10, 2025.
Sacramento Republic FC, founded in 2012 as a second-division USL team, is to play here; the club was sold in November 2024 to the Wilton Rancheria tribe, which is directing $175 million to the 31-acre site. The name Republic FC Stadium at The Railyards ties the club to the former railway yards. The 2015 design was partly shaped by fan input.
The stadium is being built within the 31-acre Sacramento Railyards site, north of downtown Sacramento, with $42 million set aside for surrounding infrastructure. Because construction is ongoing, access and orientation will change as the venue and its entertainment district take shape. The current plan targets an opening around 2027, with a tentative 2028 date also cited.
