Sources: NWSL expected to vote on calendar shift this month
- NWSL board is expected to vote this month on flipping the league calendar to a fall-to-spring format.
- A fall-to-spring schedule would align the NWSL with Europe and MLS timelines.
- The change faces weather and attendance concerns in cold-weather markets.
- Implementation would require at least one year's notice to the NWSLPA under the current CBA.
- MLS already voted to flip its calendar to mirror Europe, guiding NWSL consideration.
- A scheduling committee and player association input would be part of the process if changed.
- The change could take years to implement despite a favorable vote.
- The league is evaluating calendar changes to reduce schedule congestion with MLS and international events.
- Governance discussions coincide with the 2028 Olympics and 2031 Women's World Cup planning.
