The 2024 NWSL season is well underway, and women's soccer in the United States has never been more popular.
For proof, look no further than the sparkling new $240 million rights deal the NWSL secured for the next four years.
With the 2024 campaign kicking off the new media setup, excitement is at an all-time high. Add two expansion teams to the mix in the Utah Royals and Bay FC, and the NWSL is flexing its muscles.
Unfortunately, while the new rights deal is a sign of stellar growth in U.S. women's professional soccer, it's also a complicated mess. Each week, matches will be sprinkled across as many as four or five different television and streaming platforms, making it difficult to access teams for the entire campaign.
The Sporting News brings you a look at where each upcoming match will be accessible to watch across the 2024 season, and how to secure the most games in one place to watch NWSL action all season long.
