The 2022-23 NWSL off-season is underway, with teams making decisions over the coming week about the contract status of players who were on their roster during the just-finished season. Teams have until 2 PM PT on November 15 to publicly announce all transactions, including which contract options have been picked up and any players who have been waived. There is also a trade window open this week, with any moves to be announced publicly by 2 PM PT on Friday, Nov. 11. The trade window then re-opens on Nov. 17, after the waiver process is complete.
During Wednesday’s end-of-season press conference, OL Reign general manager Nick Perera said that the 2023 season began for him and head coach Laura Harvey the day after their disappointing loss in the NWSL playoff semifinal.
