The National Women's Soccer League (NWSL)—alongside the United Soccer League (USL) Super League—is one of two top-tier professional women's football (soccer) leagues in the United States. The NWSL was founded in November 2012, and its inaugural season was played in 2013. The country's first professional women's league, the Women's United Soccer Association, launched in 2001; that league folded after three seasons and was succeeded by Women's Professional Soccer, which operated from 2007 to 2012. The NWSL's first season featured eight teams. Over the following decade, the league expanded several times, and by the 2025 season, it comprised 14 teams, with plans to add three more—two teams in 2026 and one in 2028.
