Fun new contract term!
So "salary-exempt contracts" are part of the new CBA.
They're signed to minimum salary contracts with no bonuses, but are entitled to all the CBA provisions and league-provided bonuses. The max length of this contract is a year.

Gotham are the only east coast team to have never hosted an NWSL Final
I’ve been calling for Red Bull Arena to be a host and going to reiterate that stance here

The #NWSL Championship has been growing YOY. Having seen it from it's humble 2013 beginnings, 2025 was the biggest/best yet.
So, where to for next year's final?
The availability factors really limit NWSL's options. I wonder again if we'd ever see a non-NWSL market host.

Wow she did it
"I adore playing with her, and I adore her off the field. I definitely want to see her lift that trophy.”
Rose Lavelle likely would’ve won 2023 Final MVP if she’d been on the winning side. This year, coming off “a pretty big surgery” she’s back in the big game with the team who beat her.

Rose Lavelle will do that to you any time of day, but she will especially do that to you when she is left that wide open in the box.

That makes two leagues where D.C. vs. New York/New Jersey is the most-played fixture.
44 - The 2025 #NWSLChampionship between Washington Spirit and Gotham FC will be the 44th meeting between the teams in all competitions, surpassing Seattle vs. Portland as the most played fixture between two #NWSL teams. Ultimate.
