The 2026 NWSL Championship is taking shape, as the league announced a full slate of events leading up to the November 21st title game in Washington, DC.
The lineup kicks off November 18th with the second annual NWSL Awards, as this season’s top-performing players plus standout teams and coaches step into the spotlight.
Commissioner Jessica Berman then delivers her State of the League address on November 19th — hours before JWS hosts Time Wasting Live with Kelley O’Hara and Ali Riley at Union Stage.
The fourth annual NWSL Skills Challenge returns on November 20th, with players competing across Gauntlet, Breakaway Circuit, and Precision Point events for a $35,000 prize pool.
Saturday opens with the first-ever NWSL Championship 5K, followed by the league’s sixth annual Fan Fest featuring interactive games, food and drink, live music, and other pre-game activations.
