NWSL: 2025 USA TV/Streaming Schedule — Week 2, with Referee Assignments

Week 2 of the 2025 National Women’s Soccer League features a pair of matches between last season’s top four teams:

On Saturday, last year’s #2, Washington Spirit, hosts Kansas City who finished fourth in 2024.
Then, on Sunday, the 2024 NWSL Champions and Shield winner, Orlando Pride, visit the NJ/NY Gotham FC, which finished third in last season’s table.

In the USA, three of the weekend’s seven matches will be televised. In addition to the Saturday ION doubleheader, one match on Sunday will be shown on ESPN 2. All seven matches can be streamed live: Five via free services (NWSL+ and ION) and two via paid services (Prime Video and ESPN+).

Sunday’s match between the Chicago Stars and the Houston Dash was originally scheduled to kick-off at a later time, but was moved up to its currently scheduled start time of 3:00 p.m. EDT (noon PDT) back in February (Chicago Stars press release).

NWSL: 2025 USA TV/Streaming Schedule — Week 1, with Referee Assignments

The first weekend of the 2025 National Women’s Soccer League season kicks off on Friday, March 14. All fourteen teams will be in action.

In the USA, four of the seven matches will be televised. In addition to the Saturday ION doubleheader, ABC and ESPN 2 will each show a match, on Saturday and Sunday, respectively. All seven matches can be streamed live: Four via a free service (NWSL+ and ION) and three via a paid service (Prime Video and ESPN+).

The top two teams from last season, the Orlando Pride and the Washington Spirit will both be in action on Friday, with the Pride being featured on the first Prime Video broadcast of the 2025 regular season. Sunday’s lone match will be a SoCal derby between Angel City FC and the San Diego Wave.

Streaming: USWNT and USMNT matches will no longer be available on the Max “Basic With Ads” plan as of March 30, 2025

On March 30, 2025, Warner Bros. Discovery’s Max streaming service (www.max.com), will remove all live sports programming from its least expensive plan, “Basic With Ads”. Among the sporting events affected are international soccer friendlies involving the United States Women’s and Men’s National Teams.

Thus, for those in the USA who wish to stream friendly matches featuring the USWNT and/or USMNT, the options will be to either (1) switch to one of the more expensive Max plans or (2) watch the matches via NBCUniversal’s Peacock streaming service (www.peacocktv.com). One issue with the second option is that NBCUniversal has the Spanish-language rights, so those who prefer to watch the matches with English-language coverage would be best served by upgrading to Max’s “Standard” or “Premium” plans.

(Note: All monthly and annual fees quoted are subject to change and do not include taxes and added fees that may be applicable.)

Viewers who are paid subscribers to Max’s “Basic with Ads” plan and move up to its middle “Standard” tier would need to pay an additional $7.00 per month to watch USWNT matches. Those who have free subscriptions to Max (e.g., through a DashPass membership or a Cricket Wireless Unlimited plan) would need to pay the full price for the “Standard” tier, which is currently $16.99 per month. For those in the latter situation, a Peacock subscription, which starts at only $7.99 per month, will likely be the more cost-effective option.

2025 SheBelieves Cup: Roster Round-Up, Match Schedule, and TV/Streaming Details

With the 2025 SheBelieves Cup kicking off on Thursday, February 20th, here is a round-up of all four teams’ rosters and related articles, plus the tournament’s match schedule.

NWSL: 2025 Season Schedule — Analysis and Statistical Overview

On Wednesday, the National Women’s Soccer League released its regular season schedule for 2025 (press release). The 2025 NWSL schedule has a few pleasant surprises, which, from a sporting perspective, are significant improvements compared to the 2024 schedule.

For 2025, the regular season is divided evenly by the July break for confederation tournaments such as the Women’s EURO. Every team will play exactly 13 matches before the break and exactly 13 matches after the break.

Additionally, the 2025 schedule will follow an unofficial apertura/clausura format with each club playing every other team exactly once before the break and again after the break. This is a marked departure from 2024, where after 13 matches, two teams each had not played five teams (Bluesky post) Also, last year, the San Diego Wave and Seattle Reign had already played each other twice less than two months into the season.

The 2025 season will end with a “Decision Day”, with all 14 teams in action on the final Sunday. However, there is no explicit guarantee that all seven matches will kick off simultaneously as was the case in 2023.

Another positive improvement is the elimination of Wednesday matches. While this does decrease the number of teams that have stretches of compressed scheduling, in 2025, a few teams have weeks with just three days in between match days. Most notable of those teams is Gotham FC, which plays four matches over fourteen days in April.
