Washington Spirit Hub
Washington Spirit are on the verge of a breakthrough. With owner Michele Kang and star player Trinity Rodman at the helm, the team is poised to win their second NWSL title.
What's at Stake?
The Spirit have been involved in some of the biggest moments in the National Women's Soccer League over the past five years. After appearing in the last two NWSL championship finals and losing both, the pressure is on to deliver.
Team Performance
The Spirit are currently in 2nd place in the NWSL Women's league, with 44 points from 26 games, and a recent form of LWWLL. They have scored 42 goals and conceded 33, with a goal difference of +9.

Key Players
Trinity Rodman has been a key player for the Spirit, with the NWSL creating a new rule to allow the team to offer her a salary high enough to convince her to stay in the league. Other notable players include Italy striker Sofia Cantore, Ivory Coast winger Rosemonde Kouassi, and Colombia midfielder Leicy Santos.
Hosting the Final
The Spirit have earned the right to host the 2026 NWSL final at Rowdy Audi, their home stadium. The team has a strong record at the stadium, with unbeaten matches that have broken attendance records. The crowd at Rowdy Audi is known to push the Spirit over the line, as seen in their semi-final wins against Gotham in 2024 and the Portland Thorns a year later.
The Spirit are 21 points behind leaders Kansas City W, but with their strong squad and home advantage, they are still in contention for the title. It's now or never for the Spirit to claim their second NWSL championship title.
