Hosted at CPKC Stadium in Kansas City, it already celebrates a massive milestone in yet another year of growth. The Kansas City Current’s home is the first stadium built specifically for an NWSL club and was deservedly awarded the Championship game. Partly thanks to two new clubs (Utah Royals and Bay FC) and a longer campaign, NWSL’s regular season attendance surpassed two million for the first time. This year, the average is more than 11,000, with 89 regular season games attracting more than 10,000 fans (up from 55 in 2023). The top four – Orlando, Washington, Gotham and Kansas City – were firmly ahead by the end of the season.
