Buffalo Pro Soccer Delays 2027 Kickoff, Eyes Long‑Term Growth

Founder Peter Marlette Jr. says the postponement is meant to lay the groundwork for a lasting professional soccer presence in Buffalo.

A Delayed Kickoff

Buffalo Pro Soccer will not begin play in the 2027 season, founder and president Peter Marlette Jr. confirmed, emphasizing that the delay is intended to safeguard the long‑term health of professional soccer in the region.

The organization is currently finalizing plans for a dedicated home stadium, a move that would give the team a stable base and signal a commitment to Western New York.

At the same time, the club is searching for a principal owner who can provide the financial backing and strategic direction needed to bring the franchise to fruition.

Community involvement remains a cornerstone of the effort; the team’s name, colors and crest are being shaped through local input, and a town hall scheduled for June 9 at Banshee Irish Pub will give residents a chance to weigh in.
