With the 2022 NWSL season officially over and everyone underway in preparing for the 2023 season, the NWSL announced today the overall calendar with key dates for the league’s eleventh season of play.
First up, training camp for NWSL teams can start as early as January 23, but no later than February 6. Saturday, March 25 is kickoff weekend for the league.
As with this year, each team will play 22 regular-season games in 2023. A major improvement is that there will no longer be any midweek regular-season matches.
Shortly after the regular season kicks off, the NWSL Challenge Cup, now rebranded as UKG NWSL Challenge Cup, will begin in April.
