Over the last few weeks, the NWSL has debated flipping its Spring to Fall season calendar and instead aligning itself with other top European leagues and the FIFA international schedule by using the Fall to Spring calendar. Ultimately, the NWSL has put the brakes on making any such decision. At least, for now.
On this episode of Full Time, hosts Jillian Sakovits and Tamerra Griffin were joined by Melanie Anzidei to debate all the angles of what flipping the calendar could mean for the NWSL, its players, teams, fans, stakeholders, stadiums & more. From climate to commercial interests. From wet bulbs to World Cups. When is the right time to make a calendar move? What needs to be figured out before then? And, how does Major League Soccer’s decision to flip to a Fall to Spring calendar in 2027 affect any potential decision for the NWSL?
