NWSL Women

The 2025/2026 NWSL Women season has struck a fine balance between attack and defence. With 335 goals in 124 matches — an average of 2.7 per game — the competition has delivered plenty of drama without sacrificing tactical discipline.

Title Race. With 21 points separating first from second, Kansas City W are firmly in the driving seat. Washington Spirit W will need a remarkable run of form to mount a serious challenge from their current 44-point tally.

Form & Momentum. Current form favours Orlando Pride W, who have amassed 10 points from five games. NJ/NY Gotham FC W (10pts) are keeping pace, but it is Orlando Pride W who carry the greater momentum.

Goals & Stars. T. Chawinga and Esther González are neck and neck in the scoring charts, both sitting on 13 goals. Their rivalry in front of goal has been one of the individual stories of the season.
