The Orlando Pride vs. Washington Spirit Final is here after a thrilling set of semifinal games. Below, you can find everything you need to know about where to watch the NWSL Final, including live streaming options for those without cable.
This year's final is familiar territory for the Washington Spirit, who won their first championship in 2021 against the Chicago Red Stars. The Orlando Pride, on the other hand, has never been to the Finals before. The Pride advanced through the semifinals after beating the Kansas City Current, while the Spirit eliminated reigning champions NY/NJ Gotham FC in the semis. This year's postseason was monumental for the NWSL, as the Playoffs extended to the top eight teams in the league for the first time ever, rather than the top six or top four formats of past years.
Whether you're rooting for Orlando or Washington, we've got you covered when it comes to watching the match, which will take place in Kansas City. Keep reading to learn how to tune in from home.
The Orlando Pride vs. Washington Spirit Final airs on Saturday, November 23, at 8 p.m. ET. The match will air on CBS in the US. The network offers pre-match coverage starting at 7:30 p.m. If you don't have access to the network through cable or an antenna, you can live stream it through streaming services like Paramount Plus, DirecTV Stream, or Fubo.
Paramount Plus is the cheapest way to watch the game. You'll need to subscribe to the Paramount Plus with Showtime tier to access a 24/7 CBS live stream. Subscriptions also include a host of ad-free on-demand content, including original CBS, Paramount Plus, and Showtime programming. Plans start at $13/month or $120/year and include a one-week free trial.
DirecTV Stream and Fubo are two other popular ways to watch CBS. The month-to-month live TV services carry CBS and anywhere from 90-200+ other live channels, including almost everything you'd find in a traditional cable package. DirecTV Stream subscriptions start at $87/month and come with a five-day free trial. Fubo plans, which include a seven-day free trial, start at $80/month, but you can get $20 off your first month of service if you decide to hang onto a subscription after your free trial.
Soccer fans don't need to worry about missing out on the final just because they're traveling outside the US. By using a VPN (virtual private network), you can access your usual apps and subscriptions from anywhere by changing your device's virtual location. This will work best for Americans who are just traveling abroad since the viewing options we've recommended require US payment methods.
If you don't already have a VPN, our top suggestion is ExpressVPN, a user-friendly option with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Check out our ExpressVPN review for more information, and keep reading to learn how to use a VPN.
Note: The use of VPNs is illegal in certain countries, and using VPNs to access region-locked streaming content might constitute a breach of the terms of use for certain services. Insider does not endorse or condone the illegal use of VPNs.
