2022 NWSL season
The North American competition will see the end of the regular season this weekend, with four teams having secured their spot in the playoffs but with much to play for in the final week of action. As of now, the Portland Thorns, the OL Reign, the Kansas City Current, and the San Diego Wave have earned a spot in the next round, but with only three points between these clubs, all positions could change ahead of the playoffs.
On the other hand, four more teams are in the run for the two playoff spots that remain open, with the pole positions being owned by the Houston Dash and by the North Carolina Courage. Will the Chicago Red Stars or Angel City FC snap the playoff spot away from any of those teams?
