NWSL playoffs 2023: Schedule, TV and streaming

The NWSL playoffs have arrived, as six teams aim to lift the league title on November 11 at Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego.

After winning the NWSL Shield, the San Diego Wave will be one of the favorites to lift the title and become just the second team to do so at its home stadium.

Last season's champion, the Portland Thorns, stumbled on the final day of the season to lose the Shield, but still finished second and clinched a bye to the semifinal round. The Thorns will be aiming to become the third NWSL team to repeat as champions.

Only two clubs in the playoffs, the Thorns and the North Carolina Courage, have won the NWSL title before, with four teams vying for their first title.

Two of those teams, OL Reign and NJ/NY Gotham FC, will be looking to send two legends of the game (Megan Rapinoe and Ali Krieger, respectively) into retirement with a championship.

Below is a schedule of all the games for the 2023 NWSL postseason. Outside of the United States, every game will be available to stream on Watch.NWSLSoccer.com.
