The NWSL final between the Spirit and Gotham on CBS averaged 1.184 million viewers, making it the first game over the million mark and the most watched game in league history.

Up 22 percent from last year’s final, which averaged 967,900. That’s a solid jump.

What a message from both sets of players to start the USL Championship Final, wearing t-shirts that say:

"USL HQ: PRO REL? TRY PRO STANDARDS FIRST" Major statement made from the USL Players Association.

This is a gimmick. DC Power average about a 1k fans per game which is GENEROUS due to their lack of investment or plan to build anything tangibly meaningful. Meanwhile the Spirit avg 15k/game this year because they built an actual club. If I am a player at Power I am thinking what the hell
DC Power of the Gainbridge Super League have extended an offer for free agent Trinity Rodman that the NWSL can't currently match due to the salary cap.

Jessica Berman: "We want Trinity in the NWSL and we will fight for her."

From McClaren to Herdman there's gonna be a linguistics course on the accents these guys end up with after this cycle.
Per sources, former #CanMNT and Toronto FC head coach John Herdman has emerged as a candidate for the Jamaica job ahead of the World Cup playoffs.

Curaçao qualified ahead of Jamaica, and Steve McLaren resigned.

Early stages.

After they won their match, Haiti had to watch on someone's phone and wait for the FT whistle in Costa Rica vs. Honduras to secure their spot in the World Cup.

The scenes when they found out they were going to the World Cup for the first time in 52 years 🥹

I've seen enough! 0-0 in San Jose means HAITI is into the World Cup for the first time since 1974, SURINAME is into the playoff and neither Costa Rica nor Honduras will be in North America.

Wow honduras knocked out in the final seconds on GD against Suriname AND HAITI ARE BACK IN THE WORLD CUP

Suriname just moved a goal behind Honduras for a playoff spot. It’s all falling apart

Was a frustrating night across the board
KAT's shot at the buzzer to tie it somehow doesn't go in and bounces out after touching every part of the rim.

Knicks (without Brunson and OG) fall, 115-113, to Miami (without Bam and Herro) and drop to 8-5 on the season.

It really hits you in the face how badly they dropped the ball that this isn’t starting in July of 2026. IT WAS RIGHT THERE
As part of the shift, the 2027–28 MLS regular season will kick off in mid-to-late July 2027 and conclude with the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs in May 2028.

MLS will observe a midwinter break from mid-December through early February, with no league matches scheduled in January.

Epic drama. But I don’t know that it makes sense to me that the best team over 8 months is out because their stars were hurt for 1 afternoon
The upset of the decade, as two chaotic Gotham FC goals end the reign of the best regular-season team in #NWSL history.

Score: 1 - 2 (aet)
xG: 1.2 - 0.9
xG/Shot: 0.07 - 0.06
Quality Chances (xG >0.15): 3 - 0
Box Shots: 10 - 9
Field Tilt: 41 - 59

Worst home half KC has played in a year. Going to be a real heart of the champion gut check experience for the shield winner to see if they can grind through this and hope to move on and get healthier next week. Vlatko needs to pull something out of the hat to help them over the line

It sucks to say but Cooper scores that chance
