With the first international window of the season out of the way, the National Women’s Soccer League resumes on Friday for seven straight weekends of matches until the next international break, which starts in late May.
Week Four kicks off on Friday night with a Prime Video match featuring two teams that are both looking for their first win of the season: The Utah Royals and the Portland Thorns .
The only two teams with perfect records, the Orlando Pride and the Kansas City Current, will both be in action during Saturday night’s ION doubleheader. In the first match, the #1 Orlando Pride play at #6 Seattle Reign. Then, the #2 Kansas City Current face the #5 San Diego Wave.
All seven matches this week can be watched via a streaming service. Just two of those matches are on paid services (Prime Video and ESPN+). The remaining five will either be on the ION channel, which is available via streaming services such as Tubi (tubitv.com) and PlutoTV (pluto.tv), or NWSL+. The three matches on NWSL+ this weekend can also be streamed via Paramount+.
Prime Video has added the ION doubleheaders for this Saturday and next Saturday to its “Your live and upcoming events” section. All four matches have the “Prime” logo bug. There have been no announcement about the addition of Saturday matches to Prime, so it is unclear whether this is just a temporary trial or something more permanent. It is also unclear whether the Saturday night matches will be simulcasts of the ION broadcasts or if they will have a different commentary team, whether from the NWSL+ international feed or a Prime-specific team.

Notes
The ION channel is available on most standard cable and satellite packages. It can also be streamed free via a number of different streaming platforms (ION TV help page).
For those in the USA, matches shown on CBS Sports Network may not have a standalone streaming alternative. Thus to view matches that will be shown on CBS Sports Network, one will need to have a TV service provider package that includes the CBS Sports Network channel.
The full schedule is available as a Google Sheets document (last updated on 4-Feb-2025).

NWSL referee assignments are published each Wednesday during the season on the Professional Referee Organization (“PRO”) website: https://proreferees.com/category/assignments/nwsl-assignments/. At the present time, the PRO website is not optimized. Individual articles can be slow to load.
