2018 NWSL Season
Originally written by bigddan11
The 2018 NWSL season begins on Saturday, March 24. Both Lifetime, go90 (through July 30), and nwslsoccer.com (beginning July 31) return as the broadcast partners. This season the NWSL will have a minimum of 1 team on a bye each week. Changes this season- FC Kansas City was bought out and became the Utah Royals FC. Meanwhile the Boston Breakers failed to find a new owner and have folded, meaning the NWSL will run with only 9 teams. Expect the announcers to be filled in each Wednesday before the new matchday.
