The stadium, which is modern and electric with a seating capacity of about 10,500 fans, will be the stage for the top matchup on Saturday, June 28, 2025, at 2 p.m. ET. The championship game will be the culmination of a 16-game regular season and intense playoff run in New England, all broadcast nationwide on ESPN2 and ESPN+.
Commissioner Nic Benson expressed excitement about the growth and opportunities for Major League Rugby and looks forward to bringing that energy and excitement to one of the best new sports venues in the U.S. The championship game will be a thrilling event for die-hard rugby fans and sports enthusiasts across New England.
Centreville Bank Stadium recently opened in May and is set to host its first major championship event with the MLR final, after becoming the home of Rhode Island FC in the United Soccer League.

With rugby’s national profile on the rise ahead of the 2031 Rugby World Cup in the U.S., choosing Rhode Island as the host for the championship event will put the Ocean State on the rugby map in a significant way. The MLB Championship promises to be a thrilling and unforgettable experience for fans and players alike.
