TSN’s live coverage of the 11th season of NWSL, the top North American division of women’s soccer, highlighted by reigning champions Portland Thorns FC led by Canadian legendary striker Christine Sinclair alongside Canada’s Women’s National Team teammate Janine Beckie.

In addition to Sinclair and Beckie, the NWSL features many of Canada’s standouts, including: Angel City FC’s Vanessa Gilles; Chicago Red Stars’ Bianca St-Georges; New York/New Jersey Gotham FC’s Victoria Pickett; Houston Dash’s Allysha Chapman, Devon Kerr, Nichelle Prince, and Sophie Schmidt; Kansas City Current’s Desiree Scott; OL Reign’s Jordyn Huitema and Quinn; Orlando Pride’s Jordyn Listro; San Diego Wave FC’s Kailen Sheridan; and Washington Spirit’s Gabrielle Carle.
