Published on February 5, 2026 under Northern Super League (NSL) News Release
CANADA - Thursday, February 5, 2026 - Northern Super League today announced its 2026 regular season schedule, returning for a second season after a debut year that proved professional women's soccer has a powerful place in Canada's sports and entertainment landscape.
The season opens Friday, April 24, with a marquee rematch of the NSL Final, as Toronto and Vancouver meet at Swanguard Stadium in Vancouver to kick off the campaign - reigniting one of the League's defining rivalries from the very first whistle. This season's opening match is followed by home matches in every NSL market in the first two weeks of the season:
Saturday, April 25, 2026-Halifax Tides host Ottawa Rapid FC at Wanderers Grounds
Saturday, April 25, 2026- Calgary Wild FC hosts Montréal Roses at McMahon Stadium
Saturday, May 2, 2026-Ottawa Rapid FC hosts Calgary Wild FC at TD Place
Saturday, May 2, 2026-Montréal Roses host Vancouver Rise FC at Stade Boréale
Sunday, May 3, 2026- AFC Toronto hosts Halifax Tides at BMO Field
Running from April through November, the 2026 season delivers a consistent, coast-to-coast schedule across spring, summer, and fall, and will conclude with the NSL Final on Saturday, November 14. The neutral-site host city for the championship match will be announced in the coming months.
Apart from international breaks for women's competitions, the 2026 season will continue uninterrupted through June and July. Fans - including international soccer fans visiting Canada - are welcome to experience Canadian professional women's soccer live on broadcast and in stadium during a landmark summer for men's international soccer in Canada.
Season One established a strong foundation, marked by competitive matches, emerging rivalries, and electric atmospheres in stadiums nationwide. Fans responded to the accessibility of the live match experience and to the quality, intensity, and skill of the players on the pitch.
"Season One demonstrated that Canada was ready for professional women's soccer with world-leading attendance and fierce competition on the pitch," said League President Christina Litz. "In 2026, a year when the country will be celebrating the game at new levels, we're building on that momentum by delivering great soccer, showcasing elite talent, and creating experiences that make fans want to be part
of it week after week."
With the 2026 schedule now confirmed, fans can begin planning their season and secure tickets through their local club. Clubs across the Northern Super League are offering a range of ticketing options, including season memberships and flexible packages, providing multiple ways for supporters to attend matches throughout the season.
