Las Vegas Lights FC will play its final match at Cashman Field on October 17, 2026, against Lexington SC. This game marks the last sporting event at the venue, which is slated for demolition to make way for a new housing development.

Why it matters

Cashman Field has served as a central hub for Las Vegas athletics since 1983, hosting baseball, football, and soccer teams. Its closure concludes decades of local sports history as the site transitions into a residential project.

The stadium, which opened in 1983, famously hosted six regular-season Major League Baseball games for the Oakland Athletics in 1996. The final match at the facility is scheduled for kickoff at 7:30 p.m.

Season Trajectory

The closure of Cashman Field signals the end of an era for the city’s older sports infrastructure as professional clubs move to modern facilities. This transition follows the pattern set by the 2018 final home game of the Las Vegas 51s, moving the team landscape away from this historic site.

The transition to a new venue means local fans will need to prepare for a change in location for all 2027 home matches. Fans should look for future announcements regarding the club's permanent relocation plans to ensure continued access to matches.

The takeaway

The end of operations at Cashman Field represents a significant shift for Las Vegas sports culture as the city moves toward residential redevelopment. Residents and fans should remain alert for updates regarding the future home venue of Las Vegas Lights FC for the 2027 season.
