(Image credit: Photo by Roger Wimmer/ISI Photos) Watch for free Watch your stream from anywhere Watch in the U.S. Watch in the U.K. Watch in Canada Watch in Australia Orlando vs Washington was the breakout rivalry nobody expected last term, as the Pride denied the Spirit both the Championship and the Shield. Washington wreaked a small amount of revenge by beating Orlando to the Challenge Cup ahead of the 2025 WSL season, but it won’t just be those two challenging for silverware. Read on and we'll show you how to watch NWSL 2025 from anywhere with a VPN — and potentially for FREE. NWSL 2025: cheat sheet The 2025 NWSL season runs from March 14 to November 22. The regular season concludes on November 2, and the postseason begins on November 7. • FREE STREAM — NWSL+ (U.S., U.K., Canada) • Watch anywhere — Try NordVPN 100% risk free There was a distinct top four last season, with NJ/NY Gotham FC — who came close to a clean sweep of three trophies, without securing a single one — and Kansas City Current completing the set. Last year’s Challenge Cup winners, San Diego, have had the most interesting off-season of all, with the Wave parting with Naomi Girma for a record fee, and replacing Landon Donovan with Jonas Eidevall, who had a disastrous spell at Arsenal. In Delphine Cascarino, however, the Wave have one of the top players in the league. For the first time, there was no NWSL Draft ahead of the campaign, which means top prospects Taylor Huff and Brooklyn Courtnall signed for Bay FC and North Carolina Courage respectively as free agents. Also new is Rivalry Weekend (August 8-10), while Decision Day is set for November 2. Here's how to watch NWSL 2025 online and on TV – including free streaming options. FREE NWSL live streams All 190 games from the 2025 NWSL season (including the playoffs and Championship) are being live streamed for free on the NWSL+ streaming service everywhere, apart from the U.S. and Australia. In the U.S., 56 games will be live streamed for free on NWSL+. But what if you're based in an eligible country but aren't at home to catch that free NWSL coverage? Maybe you're on holiday and don't want to spend money on pay TV in another country, when you'd usually be able to watch for free at home? Don't worry — you can watch it via a VPN instead. We'll show you how to do that below. Watch NWSL from anywhere Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching the soccer on your subscriptions? You can still watch your usual NWSL live stream thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network). The software makes your devices appear to be back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are. So it's ideal for soccer fans away on vacation or on business. Our favorite is NordVPN. It's the best on the market: Exclusive deal There's a good reason you've heard of NordVPN. We specialize in testing and reviewing VPN services and NordVPN is the one we rate best. It's outstanding at unblocking streaming services, it's fast and it has top-level security features too. With over 5,000 servers, across 60 countries, and at a great price too, it's easy to recommend. Get 72% off with this NordVPN deal Using a VPN is incredibly simple. 1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite. 2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you're in Australia and want to tap into the coverage you'd get at home in the U.K., you'd select U.K. from the list. 3. Sit back and enjoy the show. Head to NWSL+ and stream the National Women's Soccer League online.

The service is available via a dedicated mobile or tablet app, and also on Chromecast, Fire TV, Apple TV and Fetch TV. Optus Sport currently costs AU$24.99 per month, with an annual pass available for AU$229 per year.
