USL Championship soccer club Rhode Island FC has announced that its new stadium has been named Centreville Bank Stadium as the club is set to open the 10,500 capacity venue when it hosts San Antonio FC on May 3 at 4 p.m.
The venue is part of a larger public-private partnership in downtown Pawtucket which will include housing, restaurants, retail stores and recreational amenities.
“Centreville Bank Stadium will be the outdoor sports and entertainment epicenter of Rhode Island and beyond,” said Rhode Island FC Co-Founder and Chairman Brett Johnson. “We could not be more excited to expand our partnership with Centreville Bank. We share a vision to be a beacon of community pride, economic growth and development in Pawtucket and the region. Centreville Bank is an ideal Rhode Island-based corporate leader that recognizes the unique attributes of this stadium that will connect and unite the entire state.”
Fortuitous Partners first broke ground on the stadium site on August 2022. In June 2024, Rhode Island FC held a “topping off” ceremony to celebrate the final piece of structural steel being raised and installed at the new stadium.
“This partnership with Centreville Bank is a monumental step for Rhode Island FC,” said Rhode Island FC President David Peart. “Centreville Bank’s dedication to Rhode Island’s growth perfectly aligns with our vision for the club. We are excited to create an incredible atmosphere at Centreville Bank Stadium, where fans from all of Rhode Island can come together to celebrate the beautiful game.”
Founded in 1828 and headquartered in West Warwick, Centreville Bank, which has been a partner of Rhode Island FC since 2023, is also featured on the sleeve of the club’s home and away jerseys.
