The National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) today announced Audi Field, home of the Washington Spirit and Major League Soccer’s D.C. United, as the site of the 2026 NWSL Championship, presented by Google Pixel, on Saturday, November 21.
For the fifth consecutive season, the match will air in primetime on the CBS Television Network and will stream on Paramount+. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. ET. Further broadcast details, including pre- and post-match coverage, will be shared at a later date.
Tickets for the match will be available for purchase this summer. To gain early access to a presale before the general public, fans are encouraged to sign up to receive exclusive access to the presale here.
“Washington, D.C. has become one of the premier destinations for women’s soccer, with an incredibly engaged fan base, a vibrant soccer culture and a community that continues to champion the growth of our game,” said NWSL Commissioner Jessica Berman.
“Hosting the NWSL Championship at Audi Field is an incredible honor for our fans and this city,” said Washington Spirit CEO Kim Stone. “Audi Field is one of the best soccer atmospheres in the country, and DC shows up for women’s sports like few cities in the world. A fan base this passionate deserves events like this. We’re grateful to Commissioner Berman, the NWSL, and Events DC for partnering with us to bring this event here. Now, let’s pack Audi Field on November 21 and show the country what a championship in DC sounds like.”
Multiple events will take place in D.C. during the week leading up to the championship match, including the 2026 NWSL Awards, presented by AT&T, NWSL Skills Challenge, presented by CarMax, and Fan Fest. More details about these events will be released at a later date.
The 2026 NWSL Championship, presented by Google Pixel, will mark the second time Audi Field has hosted the league’s title match. The venue previously welcomed the 2022 NWSL Championship, when Portland Thorns FC defeated the Kansas City Current to capture the club’s third league title. This year’s championship also marks the return of the NWSL’s marquee event to the East Coast for the first time since 2022.
