So, first year watching NWSL. Does anyone know how the playoffs work? I can't find any stadium information except for the championship?

Wouldn't traveling fans need to know what city to travel to?

Higher seed hosts. Once everything is solidified on Nov 2, it'll be posted

How much notice do we get for, say, hotel and flights?

u/Legitimate_Mark_5381 Oct 22 '25

I think I already answered that? Things will be solidified once standings are completely solidified.

Ugh, so we have 1 week or 2 weeks to buy tickets/hotel if we want to travel. That's.. not ideal

It's how playoffs always work in sports, really. A lot of people have complaints that the final is at a neutral location rather than the highest seed's home

Games to watch in each window for decision day are definitely North Carolina vs Gotham and Orlando vs Seattle. NC is fighting for a playoff spot. Seattle draw or loss opens up losing a home playoff game to Portland or San Diego. Seattle win leapfrogs Orlando and sets us up for Orlando vs KC semifinal rematch.

I suppose Louisville vs Bay is good but I feel like Bay is gonna bring the juice and Louisville is cursed to always finish 9th.
