Boston gay sports clubs / teams

Posted on September 3, 2023 | Leave a comment

At the start of each academic year, tens of thousands move into Boston. Whether you are new to Boston or just looking for an excuse to be more active and make friends, joining one of the many LGBTQ+ sports teams and clubs can be one way to do that.

Some sports leagues welcome beginners while others are more competitive (most are the former – not the latter). Additionally, some of these teams/leagues are seasonal so even though this post has gone live in September, not every league is in session at the moment. Look through the list of 2+ dozen sports leagues and see which one is right for you.

Below, I’ve listed active gay sports clubs/teams. If you see that I am missing one, please let me know and I’ll add it to this list of organizations.
