Outdoor · Women's pathway
Lansing City UWS
Lansing City Football joined United Women's Soccer (UWS) in March 2026 — one of the nation's premier pre-professional women's outdoor leagues. Extends the club's pathway for women athletes beyond FCS futsal. United Women's Soccer is a national pro-am / pre-professional outdoor league built so women can compete at a serious level while staying connected to college, academy, and club pathways — exactly the outdoor stage City needed beside FCS Women's futsal.

A real outdoor stage
UWS gives women in Mid-Michigan a league that matches the ambition of FCS Women's futsal — compete, develop, and be seen under the lights.
Path2Pro mindset
College, academy, and post-grad athletes share a roster culture aimed at the next level — film, fitness, and match IQ that travel.
Club, not a one-off
Same crest as the arena. Same community. UWS is chapter four of the City storyline — not a side project.
Voices

Year-round
Outdoor summer. Indoor winter. Same crest.
UWS is the outdoor season. FCS Women's is the indoor season. Players stay in the Lansing City system all year — one club, two surfaces, no gap when the grass season ends.

Players who stay for the kids
The pathway is visible: little sisters on the rail, academy shirts in the tunnel, senior players who remember why the crest matters.
Pathway
FCS winter · UWS summer
Lansing City is one of the few Mid-Michigan clubs that can honestly offer women a year-round elite pathway: FCS Women's futsal through the cold months, United Women's Soccer when the grass opens. Same staff culture, same brand standards, same expectation to represent Lansing every time the ball rolls.
