2026 NWSL Season Preview

NWSL 2026 KickoffWe’re officially back for the 2026 season, and this episode is our big league-wide reset before we go full Angel City next week. We get into the Trinity Rodman re-signing and the messy new “high impact player” rule, then run through the key dates you need for the season and a break down how to actually watch games with this year’s streaming and TV situation. After that, we do a (semi)quick whip-around of the NWSL offseason. Who leveled up, who took a hit, and which teams (including the new clubs) might cause chaos.FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL@casualfcpod INSTAGRAM | TIKTOK | THREADS@casualfc.com BLUESKY SUPPORT THE PODLeave a review where ever you listen!Buy fun merch at shop.casualfc.comBuy us a coffee at buymeacoffee.com/casualfcpodFind other great WoSo pods at **https://casualfc.com/support-woso-pod**#NWSL #Seasonpreview #WomensSoccer00:00 NWSL Season Preview00:17 We're Back!03:28 The High Impact Player Rule (HIP)10:56 2026 Season Important Dates16:11 How to watch the NWSL this season 21:55 Bay FC Preview24:29 Boston Legacy FC Preview27:04 Chicago Stars FC Preview29:46 Denver Summit FC Preview32:53 NJ/NY Gotham FC Preview35:25 Houston Dash Preview38:50 Kansas City Current Preview42:58 North Carolina Courage Preview46:26 Orlando Pride Preview48:56 Portland Thorns Preview53:34 Racing Louisville FC Preview55:58 San Diego Wave FC Preview 58:28 Seattle Reign FC Preview01:00:59 Utah Royals FC Preview01:02:16 Washington Spirit Preview01:05:35 Ways to support the pod ★ Support this podcast ★

Backpasses Ep. 1: A Quick (Wild) History of Women’s Pro Soccer in the U.S.

Backpasses Ep. 1: A Quick (Wild) History of Women’s Pro Soccer in the U.S.We just fired up the time machine and took the most chaotic walk through U.S. women’s soccer history—because if you’re loving the NWSL right now, you should know what it took to get here. We go from the barely-documented 1919 league, to the Craig League in 1950, to the USWNT forming in the ‘80s, to the brutal three-season curse of WUSA and WPS. We get into the WPSL quietly holding it down, then the early NWSL “YouTube days,” the Lifetime storytelling wins, and the GO90 streaming nightmare. And we don’t dodge the hard stuff: the 2021 reporting, the Yates investigation, and why real player protections finally had to happen. Come argue, learn, and nerd out with us—this series is just getting started.FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL@casualfcpod INSTAGRAM | TIKTOK | THREADS@casualfc.com BLUESKY SUPPORT THE PODLeave a review where ever you listen!Buy fun merch at shop.casualfc.comBuy us a coffee at buymeacoffee.com/casualfcpodFind other great WoSo pods at **https://casualfc.com/support-woso-pod**00:00 Backpasses Ep. 1 - US WoSo History01:18 Before the beginning03:49 In the beginning06:35 An Evolution10:50 A New Chapter(s)17:31 NWSL: YouTube Era25:43 NWSL: Lifetime Era & go9033:59 NWSL: Modern Day Era ★ Support this podcast ★
