The National Women’s Soccer League today unveiled the schedule and broadcast details for the 2025 NWSL regular season, consisting of 26 matches – 13 home and 13 away – for each of the 14 teams. Highlighted by the introduction of NWSL Rivalry Weekend and the return of Decision Day, the league’s 13th year of play kicks off this March as global women’s football’s biggest stars return to the pitch.
The 2025 season is poised to build on the success of a 2024 campaign that saw continued record-breaking growth across the league, including a 285% increase in broadcast viewership, a 47% increase in match attendance and the first season in league history to welcome over two million fans.
