The National Women’s Soccer League is the top-flight professional league for women in the United States. It was founded on November 21, 2012, and it is owned by the teams under a management contract with the U.S. Soccer Federation.

The NWSL is a successor to Women’s Professional Soccer (2007-2012), which was a successor to Women’s United Soccer Association (2001-2003) – the world’s first women’s soccer league in which players were paid as professionals.

The NWSL kicked-off with its 2013 season featuring eight teams, four of which were former participants in the WPS (Boston Breakers, Chicago Red Stars, Sky Blue, Western New York Flash). The league saw FC Kansas City and Boston Breakers fold and introduced three expansion teams – Houston (2014), Orlando (2016), Salt Lake City (2018) – across its seven years.

The NWSL typically runs from April through October and consists of nine teams. Each team plays 24 regular season games meaning that contenders play each other three times. The team with the most points at the end of the season is awarded the regular-season title.

The NWSL playoffs consist of the four clubs with the most points in the regular season. The playoffs consist of two semifinals single knockout matches and with the semifinal winners advancing to the final. The NWSL Championship title is awarded to the winner.
