The Challenge Cup final matchup has yet to be decided, and it’s coming down to the wire.
The Portland Thorns have had the West locked up for some time now, securing their spot in the championship game, which will air on CBS on May 8.
The East, however, hasn’t been so simple. Gotham FC currently sits atop the standings, but this weekend’s slate of games could shake that up.
North Carolina’s showdown against the Orlando Pride on Saturday (7:30 p.m. ET, CBS Sports Network) could ultimately decide who will face the Thorns for the Challenge Cup trophy.
But … Gotham can still control its own destiny with a win against Louisville on Sunday (12:30 p.m. ET, Paramount+).
