Locations of teams for the 2016 National Women's Soccer League season.

National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) is the highest-level professional soccer league for women in the United States. As of 2016, it consists of ten teams. The league uses 10 primary stadiums and 2 secondary stadiums. The highest attendance in league history occurred on July 22, 2015 at Providence Park when 21,144 people watched the Portland Thorns host the Seattle Reign in a regular season match.[1]

Originally, many NWSL teams rented university stadiums. As the league has grown, NWSL teams have increasingly used MLS stadiums either by MLS ownership of NWSL team or increased cooperation between existing NWSL and MLS teams.
