BOYDS, MD (Feb. 18, 2016) – The National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) announced today the schedule for the 2016 NWSL season. The Washington Spirit will play ten home games, all at 7pm ET at Maureen Hendricks Field at the Maryland SoccerPlex. The Spirit will play each team twice, with the exception of Sky Blue FC which it will play four times.

The 2016 NWSL regular season runs from the third weekend in April until late September.  There will be no league play in the regular season during all FIFA dates.
