The NWSL is set on a bold course to expand women’s soccer.
NWSL commissioner Jessica Berman has alluded repeatedly that the NWSL isn’t content just on expanding into the San Francisco and Salt Lake City markets as both areas will get new teams starting next season. With the goal of expanding to at least 16 teams by 2026, many potential cities are being currently looked at as possible expansion sites. The Wall Street Journal reported earlier this year that Boston is another likely expansion prospect and given the history of the Boston Breakers, New England may be another target area in the next few years.
