- The longest unbeaten end to a season was achieved by FC Gold Pride in 2010, who closed the campaign with thirteen unbeaten games (nine wins and four ties).
- Counting the 2011 season, no team has played in every playoff series.
- However, if magicJack is considered to be the same team as the Washington Freedom (as its continuation), that team has qualified for every postseason.
- Two core groups of players have played together in all three seasons and qualified for the playoffs - the Washington-magicJack core mentioned above, centered on Abby Wambach, and the Los Angeles-Gold Pride-Western New York core, centered on Marta.
- The team to win the regular season title in both of the first two seasons has folded in the following offseason.
- Also, the same can be said for each team to lead the league in attendance the first two seasons.
