Milwaukee Wave Ready to Kick Off the 2025–26 Season

The Milwaukee Wave are excited to announce their 2025–26 Major Arena Soccer League (MASL) schedule, featuring 24 thrilling games — including 12 home matchups at the UW–Milwaukee Panther Arena. The season kicks off on the road this week for three games before returning home for the opener on Friday, December 19 at 6:35 PM against long-time rival Baltimore Blast.

A New Era

The Wave welcome new head coach Marcio Leite, a longtime club veteran whose championship pedigree and passion for the game promise an exciting season ahead. “This is a very special moment for me and the organization,” said Leite. “I'm excited to take this team into the future but very aware of its legendary past. I'm looking to continue to build on that legacy and l believe we have all the right pieces to do that.” Leading the charge on the field is forward Alex “Saucy” Sanchez, fresh off a breakout season and recognized as one of the league’s most electrifying attackers.

Unmatched Fan Experience

Wave games are more than just soccer. Fast-paced action, big goals, and a high-energy atmosphere make every match a memorable event. Fans enjoy music, in-game entertainment, autograph sessions, and opportunities for kids to join the team on the field. “Wave games have always felt like home,” said President Shan Amini. “That spirit — the energy, the connection, the tradition — that’s what we build on. This year, we want even more fans to experience it.”
