NWSL Games Today: Times & How to Watch Thorns vs. Reign and Chicago Stars vs. Bay FC
It’s “Rivalry Week” in the NWSL, and the league is set to showcase a long-running feud on national TV this Sunday. The matchup between the Portland Thorns and the Seattle Reign at Providence Park promises to deliver some of the most intense moments in women’s soccer, not just in the league but on a global scale.
The Portland Thorns (6W-4D-4L) and the Seattle Reign (7W-3D-4L) have been built around star players like Christine Sinclair (Portland) and Megan Rapinoe (Seattle) since day one. The rivalry between these two teams is fueled by the passion of the players and the devoted fanbases supporting them, creating an atmosphere that goes beyond just a normal game day.
Although the legendary players like Sinclair and Rapinoe have retired, their impact is still felt in the fierce competition between these two clubs. Both teams have made significant strides in the 2025 season, with key players like Sam Coffey leading the Thorns and new additions like Mia Fishel boosting the Reign’s offensive power alongside Lynn Biyendolo of the USWNT. As both teams push for a spot in the playoffs, spectators can expect nothing short of a spectacular showdown.
