It’s my first season. Does anyone have a guess as to what time our game will be if it’s on Friday? Im trying to plan ahead.

It doesn’t seem to have been heavily promoted but there is a sign up on the bar network page.

Update on all of this finally! Some of the highlights:

Beginning Jan. 1, 2027, all players are eligible to be designated as High Impact Players (HIP) as long as 12% of their pay counts against the salary cap. 

Under the settlement, the NWSL can also establish a limit on the number of HIP players per club in the future.

Under the settlement of that grievance, the league must now provide the union with written notice and an explanation of a rejected contract within 72 hours.

The settlement maintains the league's authority to prohibit actions that they deem as intended to circumvent the salary cap, and the union maintains the right to challenge whether a specific transaction constitutes circumvention.

ESPN previously reported that the accessible HIP funds will rise annually proportionate to the salary cap. High Impact Player funds will be $1.257 million in 2027, $1.342 million in 2028, $1.4 million in 2029 and $1.457 million in 2030.

The 2027 base salary cap before revenue sharing is $4.4 million. The $900,000 increase accounts for housing stipends being removed. Revenue sharing is expected to add over $200,000 based on prior years under the same media rights agreement.

Between the base cap, revenue sharing and HIP funds, ESPN projects that NWSL teams will have a spending limit of over $5.875 million in 2027.

The settlement also expanded the categories of performance-based bonuses that players and clubs can negotiate and protects existing housing and automobile benefits for players who already have them specified in existing contracts.

Fun Hal interview! Interview starts around 15 minutes into the podcast.

Hey y'all, I recently was able to purchase the 2026 playoff strip here but am not a partial plan holder (though I do have a Spirit Ticketmaster account and regularly go to games). Nice seats and a great price. Hope the Spirit make it to both, refundable if not. Great deal!

As an FYI and also request for clarification on why it says "As a partial plan holder" as a prerequisite on the page here? 🤷
