Here are what the #NWSL tables look like when split into the first half of the season and the second half. Kansas City is consistent, while Utah and Houston wish we could have skipped the first half

Corrected version of 5-game moving average of points for all #NWSL teams.

Deleted the previous post after I realized it had cut off the last few points of each chart and the sorting was slightly off. Some teams really turned it around in the last 5 games while others struggled.

Louisville makes the #NWSL playoffs (and 7th seed) for the first time with a win. Two other playoff teams won this weekend: KC continued their dominance and Portland jumped to 3rd

Heading into the final weekend, spots 3-8 are very much up in the air. Louisville and North Carolina are fighting for the final playoff spot.

* Note that some of these finishes would require 10-0 score lines so possible does not mean probable

Gotham fell from 4th to 7th with only a draw this weekend. Houston pulled out a big win but it wasn't enough to keep them in the playoff race

Quick update on the status of playoff clinching as we head into the last game. Portland can be the 7th team to clinch a playoff spot with a win. Houston and Angel City are both eliminated due to Louisville getting a draw

Five teams are looking to secure their playoff spot in the second-to-last week of #NWSL action. Bay FC has a chance to put four teams into the playoffs tomorrow night

We have two places finalized in the #NWSL playoff race but spots 3-8 are very much up in the air

Lots of movement above the playoff line in week 24 as Orlando clinches a playoff spot and Washington secures the second seed for playoffs
October 13, 2025 at 3:19 AM
Washington Spirit has now clinched 2nd in the final table which means potentially hosting two playoff games. Today Angel City plays for the chance to stay in the playoff hunt and Orlando will be rooting for them
October 12, 2025 at 2:04 PM
Washington Spirit are guaranteed to host an opening round playoff game after last night. All eyes are on WAS and LA for many of the remaining playoff scenarios

Five teams are looking to clinch a playoff spot in week 24, Washington Spirit has many ways to clinch playoff hosting and three teams are fighting to stay in the playoff race

Things are getting a bit clearer in the #NWSL playoff race but much is up in the air. Five teams can clinch playoff spots this weekend

Not as much movement in #NWSL week 23, with Portland and Louisville being the two teams to move back up in the standings

Washington Spirit has another chance to clinch a playoff spot this weekend. Meanwhile Chicago Stars must take at least a point from Kansas City to stay in the playoff race
September 23, 2025 at 2:05 PM
North Carolina moved into a playoff position for the first time since week 1. The top of the table remained stable but teams are making moves at the bottom of the table 👀
September 22, 2025 at 3:04 AM
Last year Orlando won the shield in week 22. Can Kansas City secure it in week 21? Washington Spirit also has a chance to clinch a playoff spot. Everything else is up in the air
September 17, 2025 at 1:38 PM
Updated week 20 #NWSL bump chart has Seattle Reign join 3 other teams with 30 points. In week 21, Kansas City can win the shield and Washington Spirit can clinch a playoff spot. Everything else is up in the air
