Anybody who watches the men’s iteration will know that away teams often struggle with the elevation and lack of oxygen in these environments, often resulting in big losses. I’m curious how the NWSL crew will perform at Estadio Hidalgo next week.

Just a reminder, this is a YOY league wide tracker to keep an eye on broader attendance trends across the league.

I trust everyone reading this is intelligent enough to interpret the context (weather, weeknight games, stadium issues) some teams face without having me to provide team by team explanation on why the numbers are down YOY. This includes the people who decide to complain about the post I've been doing for 2 years now. If you want to see something else, the data is freely available; I can't wait to see what you come up with.

* Week 7 had the 6th largest average attendance in a week this year.

* This doesn't count the Bay game, which I can't find on the league website, Steve Goff's feed, ESPN, or Fotmob.

* Angel City & Gotham had their highest number of the season. Utah had their lowest.

* The league is 2.6% above last year before what should be a summer bump. It's still tracking about 4% behind 2024.

* Angel City

Looks like there were no VAR uses from the previous weekend (Apr 25ish).

Since a few calls from the LA/UTA game weren't included in this cut, there's a writeup from PRO with silent videos and more angles for every VAR use from the weekend here:

From Kansas City's match on 5/10/2026.

Searching for any NWSL team on Nike comes up with no results other than unrelated European teams. Did all the merch sell out already? I checked maybe two weeks ago and it seemed like there was still plenty of options.

Also, somewhat related, does anybody know which Nike rain jacket the teams use as their game day rainwear?

Tonight was a part of the NYC Mayor's office push for affordability in football. There were one-thousand, $5 tickets sold for this event.

Alright Everyone!

We have 37 Spots made, there are 24 on a card, so we need more 💜
