NWSL to Begin 2027 Season Early to Accommodate Women's World Cup
The National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) will start its 2027 season earlier, on February 11, to accommodate the Women's World Cup in Brazil. The league will pause from June 24 to July 25 during the tournament, with playoffs beginning November 5 and the championship on November 20. Commissioner Jessica Berman highlighted the strategic scheduling around major events like the Super Bowl and noted the league will maintain its spring-to-fall calendar through at least 2030 despite Major League Soccer's shift to a summer-to-spring schedule.
