Women's Football Alliance opens headquarters at Hall of Fame Village

The Women’s Football Alliance opened a new headquarters at Hall of Fame Village in Canton, Ohio, placing its women’s tackle and flag football operation inside the Constellation Center for Excellence and linking it to Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium. The June 30 announcement gave the league a fixed base in one of football’s most recognizable settings, with the stadium set to host marquee league events and championship programming.

Inside the 75,000-square-foot Constellation Center for Excellence, the WFA said the headquarters will include a retail storefront for branded apparel and equipment, executive office suites, a television and podcast studio, conference rooms and a theater with more than 100 seats. The setup gives the league more than office space. It creates a place where athletes, sponsors and media can be brought into the same building, while the campus itself, centered around the Pro Football Hall of Fame, already serves as a year-round sports destination.

The move carries direct consequences for flag football. The WFA said the expanded operation will create new full-time roles including a National Flag Coordinator, a Vice President of Licensing and Retail and a Chief Partnerships Officer, a sign that flag is being folded into the league’s core business rather than treated as a side project. The headquarters will also support major 2026 events, including the WFA National Championship and the WFA Flag National Championship, along with camps, clinics and community events designed to keep the league active beyond game days.

Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium, which seats 20,000, will anchor that event calendar. The stadium sits at 1835 Harrison Ave NW, while the WFA’s office base will be at 2014 Champions Gateway, both in Canton. That proximity matters: the league now has a place to stage championship weekends, run media content and build out the kind of repeatable destination model that women’s football has often lacked.

The timing also fits a larger Canton push. The WFA said it now has about 40 teams across three divisions, a national footprint that is smaller than earlier league counts but still wide enough to benefit from a centralized hub. Local reporting has also pointed to a 2027 expansion franchise in Canton that Hall of Fame Village is expected to own, which would add an on-field presence to the administrative one.

For a league that says it is the largest and longest-running women’s tackle football league in the world, the Canton move does more than change an address. It gives flag football a permanent home inside a football landmark, with a built-in stage for recruiting, retail, partnerships and the championship weekends that can keep the sport in view all year.
