It’s finally here! The 2022 NWSL regular season schedule was unveiled Wednesday morning, confirming the dates and times of all 11 OL Reign home games at Lumen Field. The regular season opens on May 1 with a trip to Washington to face the Spirit in a rematch of last year’s playoff semi-final, and concludes with a home game against the Orlando Pride on October 1. The Reign have one Wednesday home game, two Friday night home matches, and eight home games on the weekend.
Of note, the second week of regular season games overlaps with the championship match for the Challenge Cup on May 7, meaning that the teams involved in that match will need to have their regular season games on that weekend postponed until later in the year.
