List of National Women's Soccer League stadiums


The National Women's Soccer League is the highest-level professional soccer league for women in the United States. The league has had a maximum of 10 teams, reaching that number in the 2016 and 2017 seasons, and has had 9 teams in each subsequent season to date. It is currently scheduled to return to 10 teams in 2021, and expand further to 11 teams in 2022. Before the COVID-19 pandemic caused the 2020 season to be abbreviated, taking the form of a World Cup-style championship tournament, eight of the teams planned to use a single stadium for all home games in that season. The remaining team, the Washington Spirit, intended to split its 12 home matches evenly between three stadiums in its region.
The highest attendance in the league's history occurred on August 11, 2019 at Providence Park when 25,218 people watched Portland Thorns FC defeat the North Carolina Courage 2–1 in a regular-season home match.
Originally, many NWSL teams rented university stadiums. As the league has grown, NWSL teams have increasingly used MLS stadiums, either by MLS ownership of NWSL team or increased cooperation between existing NWSL and MLS teams.

Primary stadiums

These stadiums were intended to be used in the 2020 season before the COVID-19 crisis. The 2020 Challenge Cup used two sites in the Salt Lake City area, with Zions Bank Stadium in Herriman hosting all group matches and quarterfinals and Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy hosting the semifinals and final.
