After more than 600 days without playing a game, the Boston Glory will return to the field this summer. The 2021 AUDL schedule has officially been announced; the Glory will play a 12-game regular season from June to August, with the potential for playoff games in September. The first of six Glory home games will be played Friday, June 11 at 8:00 PM/ET at Hormel Stadium against the Atlanta Hustle.

Added as an expansion team in 2020, the Glory was supposed to play their inaugural season last year in the East Division. Instead, the team enters the 2021 season playing in the new Atlantic Division. Due to Canadian border restrictions, New York and Boston moved from the East Division into the now eight-team Atlantic Division, facing new competition in Atlanta, DC, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Raleigh, and Tampa Bay. Four playoff spots will be awarded to the top four teams, with the top two moving on to Championship Weekend, the AUDL’s final-four style competition taking place the final week of the season.

With a historically competitive club scene, Boston’s newest pro team enters the season looking to become the third expansion team to win a championship in their inaugural season. The team is led by Head Coach Sam Rosenthal, who coached the MLU’s Boston Whitecaps to a championship in 2015.
