The NWSL is back baby! Did you miss us? Saturday afternoon, the Washington Spirit (15-4-8) return to Rowdy Audi just in time for a rivalry face-off against Gotham FC (16-7-4). I think that District vs. Empire sounds like a Star Wars spinoff, but they didn't ask for my opinion on the name, so here we are.

DC Power FC had an extra week to prepare thanks to Hurricane Isaias, but they have a pivotal match tonight when they hit the road to Charlotte to face Carolina Ascent in a battle between the top two teams in the USL Super League.

Their match against Sporting Jacksonville last weekend was postponed due to Hurricane Isaias making landfall in Florida, so the club has been working an extra week to take on the top team in the league.

Happy Friday! It's a pretty gloomy morning, and I'm getting nervous for a very touch match for Washington Spirit tomorrow afternoon, but at least it is the weekend! The NWSL has announced details and started ticket sales for the 2026 Skills Challenge, which I am very excited about! I do wish it were being held inside DC proper, but I will be making my way there regardless.
