Clubs to compete across ten divisions in sophomore season

TAMPA, Fla. - The USL W League is gearing up for another exciting season of elite pre-professional soccer. The 2023 W League season will feature 65 teams across ten divisions.  

The newly announced NorCal, Northwest and Valley divisions will join the South Central, Great Lakes, Heartland, Metropolitan, Mid Atlantic, South Atlantic and Southeast divisions for 2023.  

New this season, the league has established four regional conferences: Eastern, Central, Southern and Western – which will affect the 2023 playoff structure.

Each team will play either 10 to 12 matches against divisional opponents over the course of the regular season. Upon the start of playoffs, conferences will be used to regionalize match ups with player welfare in mind. More information of the W League playoffs will be released prior to season kickoff. 

"We are thrilled to have the W League in 20 new communities across the country," said Amanda Vandervort, USL Super League and W League President. “The W League is an important step along the USL women’s pathway, and the growth showcased during this offseason is a clear indication of the league’s continued commitment to creating opportunities for women from coast to coast.” 

The W League will release its full 2023 season schedule on Tuesday, February 21. For more information about the USL W League visit USLWLeague.com and follow the W League on TwitterInstagram, and Facebook.
