Episode description

On this week's Full Time, the podcast is asking what is the state of the NWSL in 2025? Where is the league right now, and where does it want to be?


To help discuss the state of the league, Meg Linehan is joined by staff writer at Just Women's Sports Claire Watkins, and women's basketball staff writer and co-host of the No Offseason podcast at The Athletic Ben Pickman.


The conversation explores the NWSL's audience, politics and values, commercial ambitions and strategy, the players and the play on the pitch, and how all of these things interact with each other.


With the exceptional growth in women's basketball, the question becomes: How does the NWSL keep up with the WNBA?
