May 16 tilt vs. Cleveland Force brings USL W League
soccer to Pittsburgh for the first time
PITTSBURGH — The historic first match for Pittsburgh Riveters SC will arrive on Friday, May 16 at Highmark Stadium, which was revealed today with the announcement of the full 2025 USL W League schedule.
The opponent is a fitting one for a new team in Pittsburgh, as the Riveters will host Cleveland Force SC the first time they step on the field. The two teams are part of the newly formed Great Forest Division in the Central Conference, one of 15 divisions divided among four geographically aligned conferences in the 93-team W League for 2025.
After their opening tilt, the Riveters will play three of their next four on the road, including trips to Rochester, N.Y. team Flower City 1872 (May 24), the return engagement with the Force (May 27) and a short trip northward to face Villarreal Erie (June 5).
The Riveters home schedule is a fan-friendly one, with all matches falling on Fridays and Sundays at Highmark Stadium. Additional home dates are Friday, May 30 against Flower City, consecutive Sundays on June 8 and June 15 against FC Buffalo and Erie, and a regular-season finale on Friday, June 27 against Steel City FC before the start of the USL W League Playoffs in July.
Kickoff times for the matches will be announced at a later date, as well as a date for single-game tickets going on sale. Season tickets for the 2025 season can be purchased by calling the Highmark Stadium Box Office at 412-865-GOAL or by visiting riveterssc.com/ticket-info.
