Love the graphs in our preview episodes? Want to do your own analysis? Pull tables, radars, charts and so much more at ASA VizHub, built by @catabush.com! Look at data for every NWSL player and team going back to 2016. There is nothing else like it on the internet, especially for women's soccer.
You can't get better or more in-depth writing on every single NWSL club than what our friends at ASA do at this time of year! Read 'em all!
NWSL Season Preview Week is here! For the next eight days, we'll be covering all 16 clubs for the 2026 season. For the @denversummitfc.bsky.social, the guys talked to @catabush.com and @kierdoyle.bsky.social of @americansocceranalysis.com about how to build an expansion team with no drafts.
NWSL Season Preview Week is here! For the next eight days, we'll be dropping episodes covering all 16 clubs for the 2026 season. For the Boston Legacy, Emma Healy of @bostonglobe.com chatted with the guys about the biggest mystery team in the league this season.
NWSL previews are starting tomorrow, and we're doing things a little differently this year.
Every single team is going to get their regular preview, on the ASA site, 2 teams at a time. On the same day, our friends @xowngoals.com are going to drop the audio previews with experts on each team!
Things are going to be shifting rather quickly starting tomorrow ;)

4 teams managed to figure out how to celebrate Black people during the regular season outside of June. EVERY team figured out how to celebrate Pride outside of June in the regular season. Teams make it work if they want to make it work. Be mad at your team, not the ask to celebrate Black people.
Dear god Linda those players have families
Why not? Because if hardly anyone watches sports docuseries on Netflix, they're definitely not watching them on ESPN+ (and those who do are probably big NWSL fans already)
NWSL players had better be cashing a nice paycheck for their participation in the new ESPN doc THE FINAL THIRD, because they're not gonna get the exposure they may have been promised.
Soooo the new ESPN doc NWSL: THE FINAL THIRD left out some key details on Trinity Rodman's new contract. Whoopsie!
We've got merch!!! The xOG store has launched, where you can get official hoodies, tees, beanies, stadium bags, and much more. Patreon members get 20% off their orders. Get your gear and start the NWSL season in style!
She was very good there with Louisville in '21 & '22
With other teams finding a way to celebrate the Black community, nothing is not a choice, @washingtonspirit.com.
Not sure how you can represent βChocolate Cityβ and not celebrate Blackness.
Exactly
Itβs givingβ¦
We love a marginal advantage! Camo keeper!
we have questions!
This vs. Big Macs at the White House.
Has winning ever been more clearly defined?!
Speaking of squeezing a lot in, the guys make a cameo! They'll be registering with the extras union forthwith.

She has appeared on-camera many, many times but never for more than a sassy cameo.
