NWSL+ history, coverage, features

NWSL+ is a free digital streaming service owned and operated by the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL), the USA’s top-flight women’s soccer division. Launched at the start of the 2024 season, this platform allows viewers to stream select NWSL matches live at no cost.

NWSL+ is available in the USA as well as internationally, with access extending to Europe, Africa, Asia, and Oceania. While the number of live NWSL matches available on the platform may vary by region, match highlights and full replays for all games are available on the streaming service.

Upon its introduction in 2024, the National Women’s Soccer League entered into multi-year broadcast deals with several nationally available networks valued at a rumored $60 million per season. These deals included CBS Sports, ESPN, Amazon Prime Video, and the Scripps Sports-owned ION Television, with NWSL+ streaming every other fixture not covered by these broadcast agreements for free.

As a result, the number of live matches available on NWSL+ in the USA can change. For example, during the 2025 campaign, the second season following the platform’s launch, more than 70 games were made available to stream in the United States. NWSL+ is available nationally and is not subject to blackouts, unlike regional sports networks, which may acquire the rights to NWSL matches available on the digital platform.

While NWSL+ is free to use, viewers must sign up to access the service. Fans can stream the league by visiting plus.nwslsoccer.com via a web browser or by downloading the NWSL+ app.
