With help from my right hand stat man @michaelminnich.bsky.social, I can verify Seattle will be the first NWSL team to face the same opponent in 3 straight games — all in Orlando. The Pride hosted the Reign in the 2025 season finale & the quarterfinal, and will host them in the 2026 opener as well!

Yes it is, and right you are! All-time most NWSL titles (Champ + Shield + Challenge + Summer + Fall Series) 9 - Rowland 8 - Speck, Zerboni 7 - Biyendolo, Dahlkemper, Daniels, Debinha, Dunn, Erceg, Hamilton, Mathias, O'Sullivan, Sinclair
Bill Nottingham@notting.bsky.social · last yr.this sounds like a @keepernotes.bsky.social sort of question, but I suspect the answer is one of Rowland or Zerboni.
