NWSL Makes 2021 Debut with Challenge Cup

The National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) returned to play in 2021 with the second year of the NWSL Challenge Cup, a 21-game tournament featuring all 10 league teams.

The NWSL Challenge Cup debuted last year as a product of the COVID-19 pandemic. After having to consistently delay their regular-season games, the league created a tournament to encourage playing while staying safe. Last July, Houston Dash took home the title after previously not making playoffs in their seven-year tenure in the league.
