NWSL Game Rules

NWSL games are comprised of two 45 minute halves. Unlike most American sports, the clock counts up, not down. The ref will add on a few minutes of extra time (“stoppage time”) at the end to ensure a full 45 minutes of play has occurred in each half. Halftime lasts 15 minutes.

There are currently 12 teams in the NWSL, and the top six qualify for the playoffs. The league will expand to 14 teams in 2024, adding Bay FC (San Jose, CA) and Utah Royals FC (Sandy, Utah).

Five Tips For Attending San Diego Wave FC Soccer Games

  • Get there early. Parking fills up. The store and concession stands are packed. Come and get settled.
  • Be ready for the sun. During day games and late afternoon matches, depending on the section and the weather, you can get cooked. Shade is hard to come by. Bring a hat and sunglasses and drink a lot of water. Take special care with the little ones.
  • Be nice. You know that person who sat near you that time and ruined the game for everyone? Don’t be that person.
  • Cheer loudly. The stadium is not that big, the women can hear you!
  • Exit with patience. Can it be brutal? Yes. Are we exaggerating? No. Just have a plan… leave a little early, use public transportation, or prepare for a slow egress.
