The work has officially started. NY Empire FC is back in the lab as preseason preparations for the Spring 2026 campaign are underway.

After a demanding offseason, the group has returned with purpose—sharper, stronger, and locked in. The early preseason sessions have brought together a strong core of returning players, building on the foundation set last season, alongside a few new faces eager to make their mark in Empire colors.

These sessions are about more than fitness. The focus has been on intensity, habits, and attention to detail—setting the standard early as the group ramps up toward the spring schedule.

Head Coach Max Ferro added:

“Preseason is where everything starts. This is where habits are built and standards are set. We’ve got a strong group of returning players who understand what we’re about, and some new faces pushing the level. The work we put in now is what shows up when it matters.”

With chemistry already developing and competition at every position, preseason is shaping up to be exactly what it should be: fast-paced, demanding, and intentional.
