About this episode

The episode previews the 2026 NWSL season, discussing key player signings, new rules, and team performances during the offseason.

NWSL 2026 Kickoff We’re officially back for the 2026 season, and this episode is our big league-wide reset before we go full Angel City next week. We get into the Trinity Rodman re-signing and the messy new “high impact player” rule, then run through the key dates you need for the season and a break down how to actually watch games with this year’s streaming and TV situation. After that, we do a (semi)quick whip-around of the NWSL offseason. Who leveled up, who took a hit, and which teams (including the new clubs) might cause chaos.
