The NWSL today announced several important dates for its 2021 schedule, including a start date for the Challenge Cup, start and end dates for the regular season, and more details on the overall schedule (though not the actual schedule itself).
The 2021 Challenge Cup will kick off on April 9, and the league’s Medical Task Force has signed off on teams playing in home markets. For the Washington Spirit, that would likely mean Audi Field in the District, or Segra Field in Leesburg. When reached by Black and Red United for comment, a Spirit spokesperson said that a decision on that front has not been made at this time.
