The NWSL is showing off its skills, detailing 2026 Championship Weekend’s fourth-annual Skills Challenge — with $35,000 on the line.
The 16-player roster includes Jaedyn Shaw (Gotham), Savy King (Angel City), Hal Hershfelt (Washington), Claire Hutton (Bay), and Lo’eau LaBonta (Kansas City). The standouts are set to battle it out in Washington, DC.
Any Skills Challenge participants who make the title match will be replaced. Meanwhile, two additional players from Seattle and Utah have yet to be named.
In line with previous iterations, two teams of eight will compete in games like Gauntlet, Breakaway Circuit, and Precision Point. Soccer personality Duda Pavão will call the shots as on-ground host.
The event takes over Alexandria Virginia’s Episcopal High School on November 20th at 5:30 PM ET, with a TV broadcast following on November 28th at 2 PM ET on CBS. Tickets are available via Eventbrite.
