NWSL Announces Covid Replacement Player Policy
May 13, 2022 - National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) News Release
CHICAGO - The National Women's Soccer League announced today the implementation of a new policy allowing teams to sign emergency replacement players in the event that a team cannot field a sufficient roster due to Covid protocols. This policy will be in effect for the next 60 days and then be re-evaluated by the NWSL and the NWSLPA.
Current protocol allows a team to compete with as few as 14 players who are both eligible and capable of playing in a match. Under the new rule, teams may sign Covid replacement players to bolster rosters to the non-Covid minimum of 18 players.
In signing Covid replacement players, teams will follow the same policies as they do with national team replacement players.
