The Seattle Majestics are a women's American football team based in Seattle, Washington. The Seattle Majestics play in the WNFC. Home games are played at French Field on the campus of Kent Meridian High School in Kent, Washington.
The team began as the Tacoma Majestics in 2002 before moving to Seattle in 2006 and merging with the former Women's American Football League franchise, the Seattle Warbirds.[1][2][3]
The franchise is currently a 501c3 and operated by the Board of Directors. Sponsorships and fundraising under the team's nonprofit 501(c)(3) status provide finances for the team, but players also have to contribute.[4]
The Seattle Majestics have won the WFA's Pacific Northwest Division title four times, 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016. The Seattle Majestics also won the IWFL's Northwest Division title six times, from 2003 to 2005 and again from 2007 from 2009.[5] The team has also had the distinction of entertaining the crowd at Qwest Field prior to the kickoff of the Seattle Seahawks and has been featured on ESPN. After the conclusion of the 2017 season, the Seattle Majestics moved back to the IWFL. In the summer of 2019, the Seattle Majestics joined forces with the Texas Elite Spartans, San Diego Surge, and Utah Falconz to form the foundation of the WNFC. The Majestics just finished[when?] their 4th season in the WNFC and have a combined record of 8-15-1 since moving over to the WNFC.
