The 2023 NWSL season is set to kick off on March 25 with play running until November. The last day of the regular season will be on Oct. 15 and for the first time, the league will have a Decision Day with all 12 teams playing their last game at the same time.
Each team will play 22 games with a balanced schedule: 11 home and 11 away matches. With 12 teams in the league, each team will be in action every weekend. The top-six teams will advance to the NWSL playoffs with the first two teams getting a first-round bye. The quarterfinal round of the playoffs will take place on Oct. 22 with the championship game being played on Nov. 11.
Instead of having the Challenge Cup be a preseason tournament, it will now take place during the regular season with the first Challenge Cup game happening on April 19 and the final being held on Sept. 9. The Challenge Cup will have three groups of four teams each. The majority of the Challenge Cup will be played during the 2023 Women’s World Cup to limit the number of regular season matches during the World Cup.
