The NWSL finally announced its 2017 schedule today. The regular season’s span is from April 15 to September 30 with the playoffs commencing afterwards. This year’s NWSL season has been extended to a 24-match schedule instead of the 20-match schedule of previous seasons. Each team will play 12 home matches and 12 away matches. Unlike the two previous years, due to the 2015 Women’s World Cup and 2016 Rio Olympics, there will be no extended tournaments breaks this year.
This season Sky Blue will play the Boston Breakers once at home and twice away, the Chicago Red stars once at home and once away, FC Kansas City twice at home and once away, Houston Dash once at home and once away, North Carolina Courage once at home and twice away, Orlando Pride twice at home and once away, Portland Thorns once at home and once away, Seattle Reign FC once at home and twice away, and Washington Spirit twice at home and once away.
