The 2024 NWSL season is here, 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 match across the 2024 season will be accessible to watch, and how to secure the most games in one place to watch NWSL action all season long.

Where to watch NWSL games this week (Matchweek 7)
Now that the international break is in the rear view mirror and the U.S. women have the 2024 SheBelieves Cup trophy in hand, the 2024 NWSL season is back in full swing.
Six matches into the 2024 season, the Kansas City Current are still unbeaten and top the table, but the Orlando Pride have also reached this point without defeat, on three straight wins after drawing their first three. The Current are on the road for a Sunday night matchup against the struggling Houston Dash who have just one win on the young season.
There are three midweek games to enjoy on Wednesday, including a top-five meeting between the Chicago Red Stars and Washington Spirit. There's also a fantastic Saturday night matchup between defending champions NJ/NY Gotham FC, who sit outside the playoff positions in the early going, and the second-place NC Courage.
