She commended the local community’s love for the game and highlighted the arrival of Bay FC as contributing to the event’s significance.

The Bay Area has produced renowned players like Julie Foudy, Alex Morgan, and emergency legends such as Brandi Chastain, Leslie Osborne, and Aly Wagner. With strong collegiate programs at schools like Santa Clara and Stanford, the region has a storied legacy in women’s soccer.

This year, the NWSL has experienced significant growth, building on a record-breaking 2024 season that saw a 285% jump in broadcast viewership and attendance exceeding two million fans. The 2025 playoffs will feature eight clubs competing in a new format starting November 7-9, with matches airing on various networks, including ESPN/ABC and CBS.

The championship will be surrounded by various events, including Fan Fest and a Skills Challenge, with further details expected closer to the event date. PayPal Park, which opened in 2015 and holds around 18,000 spectators, is designed to provide an excellent viewing experience for soccer fans.
