WOONSOCKET, R.I., February 19, 2026 — CVS Pharmacy® has announced a multi-year sponsorship with the U.S. Soccer Federation (USSF) and the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL), accompanied by a commitment to develop community multiuse soccer fields across the country.
The sponsorship designates CVS Pharmacy as the Official Health and Wellness Partner of both organizations. Len Shankman, Executive Vice President and President, Pharmacy and Consumer Wellness, CVS Health, stated the partnership is a natural extension of the company’s focus on community health. “CVS Pharmacy is uniquely positioned to strengthen health at the community level,” Shankman said. “As an Official Health and Wellness Partner of U.S. Soccer and the NWSL, we have a valuable opportunity to deepen our ties in the neighborhoods we serve. Soccer positively impacts health and community connection, making this sponsorship a natural fit.”
The initiative builds upon CVS Health’s existing relationship with the Washington Spirit, which began in 2020. The expanded partnership now includes sponsorships with the Seattle Reign FC and the Kansas City Current. According to CVS, these club-specific sponsorships will deliver resources and community impact to additional markets.
Matt Soloff, SVP of Partnerships for the NWSL, emphasized the league’s growth and the potential for broader impact. “This partnership reflects the NWSL’s continued growth and our belief that the professional women’s game is a powerful catalyst for impact far beyond the pitch,” Soloff said. “Together with CVS and our clubs, we’re translating that growth into real investment in healthier communities and expanding access and opportunity for the next generation of players and fans.”
A central component of the sponsorship is a commitment to revitalize community soccer fields through 2028. CVS Pharmacy will collaborate with Alex Morgan, a two-time Women’s World Cup champion and Olympic gold medalist, as well as U.S. Soccer ambassadors and NWSL clubs, to highlight the positive impact of soccer on communities. Morgan stated, “Soccer has shaped my life in countless ways and I’ve seen firsthand how access to the game can build confidence, health and community. I’m excited to work with CVS to help ensure more kids and families can experience the joy and wellbeing soccer brings—starting with the fields where it all begins.”
David Wright, Chief Commercial Officer of U.S. Soccer, highlighted the potential for connecting the sport with everyday wellness. “At U.S. Soccer, we believe the game can make a real difference beyond the field,” Wright said. “By working with CVS, a brand trusted by millions of families across the country, we have an opportunity to meet fans and families where they are and connect the game they love with everyday wellness.”
Beyond the field improvements, CVS Pharmacy will amplify local causes and community programs in Washington, D.C., Seattle, and Kansas City, working with the Washington Spirit, Seattle Reign FC, and Kansas City Current to foster inclusive environments and support local economic development.
As of December 31, 2025, CVS Health operated approximately 9,000 retail pharmacy locations and over 1,000 walk-in and primary care medical clinics, and managed a pharmacy benefits manager serving approximately 87 million plan members.
