Houston Dash News Release


HOUSTON - The National Women's Soccer League announced the 2023 competition calendar earlier today, which includes the regular season and reimagined UKG NWSL Challenge Cup format. The Houston Dash will play 28 games total beginning on Sunday, March 26 at the newly renovated Shell Energy Stadium.

The 2023 season, powered by Shell Energy, marks the 10th campaign for the Dash since joining the league as the first expansion team in 2014. Houston made their first postseason appearance in front of a sold-out crowd on October 16, 2022.

The Dash begin their 2023 season in Houston against Racing Louisville FC on Sunday, March 26 at 6 PM. Following the home opener, the Dash will go on back-to-back road games to Chicago on April 1 and Portland on April 14.

Houston returns to Shell Energy Stadium on April 19 to begin group play in the Challenge Cup against the Kansas City Current. New in 2023, the Challenge Cup tournament will run alongside the regular season from April to September with considerations around the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup. The Dash will face off again Kansas City, Chicago Red Stars and Racing Louisville FC in group play.

The 22-game regular season schedule includes home-and-away matches against all NWSL teams. Early marquee home matchups include April 28 against reigning Challenge Cup Champion North Carolina Courage as well as May 12 against reigning NWSL Champion Portland Thorns FC.

Regular season home matches are scheduled for Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings from March through October.

The Dash will welcome Angel City FC for the regular season home finale on Oct. 8 in downtown Houston. Houston closes the regular season on the road in Florida when they face the Orlando Pride on Oct. 15.

The opening round of the 2023 NWSL playoffs will begin on October 22 with the semifinal round taking place on November 4. The NWSL championship will take place on November 11.
