OSC Weekly Live Event Listings

May 7, 2024 - National Women's Soccer League (NWSL)
The weather is getting warmer and that means two things for the weekly listings: more baseball and more soccer. Links to all the games listed below can be found at https://freeplaysportshq.com/. You can access each game by going to the site listed by the game below and searching for it, or visiting FreePlay Sports HQ for direct links.
The American Association returns this week, and this season they are streaming all their games for free on AABTV. The Winnipeg Goldeyes visit the Cleburne Railroaders on Thursday at 8:06 pm for the league's first 2024 action, and the remainder of the league gets underway on Friday with a full six-game slate. Outside of the AA, there are 12 other minor league baseball games from eight different leagues available this week. The Sally League's Greensboro Grasshoppers and Bowling Green Hot Rods open the baseball slate on Tuesday evening, and we get double headers on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
On the pitch, the 2024 soccer season chugs right along this week with five matches on Wednesday, followed by seven on Saturday, and a whopping ten on Sunday. Two free Major League Soccer broadcasts take place over the weekend with Columbus and Cincinnati on Saturday night and Portland and Seattle on Sunday afternoon. On the women's side, eight total matches from the National Women's Soccer League, starting with Houston and NJ/NY Gotham on Wednesday at 8 pm, and wrapping up with the same Gotham squad taking on the San Diego Wave at 7:30 pm on Sunday. Along with MLS and the NWSL, four other leagues are in action this week, including MLS NEXT Pro, the National Independent Soccer Association, and both United Soccer League Championship and USL 2.
It's playoff time on the ice, with the Professional Women's Hockey League and Federal Prospects Hockey League offering up postseason action this week. The PWHL playoffs begin on Wednesday at 7 pm as Minnesota meets top seed Toronto. The other series starts at 7 pm on Thursday with Boston at Montreal. The two series alternate days for the rest of the week, taking a day off on Sunday. In the FPHL, the Binghamton Black Bears can wrap up the 2023-24 title with a home win over the Carolina Thunderbirds on Friday. If the Thunderbirds extend the series on Friday, there are "if necessary" games on Saturday and Sunday.
Friday, Saturday and Sunday are where all the football lives this week with two Indoor Football League games on Friday night, six IFL matchups on Saturday, along with one apiece from the United Football League and National Arena League, plus an NAL contest Sunday afternoon between Carolina and Oklahoma. The Arena Football League will likely have some games sprinkled in there as well, assuming they are still afloat. Check arenafootball.live and vyrenetwork.com for further scheduling.
In other action, the Pro Volleyball Federation brings four matches starting Tuesday, while Major League Rugby drops two games on Friday and Saturday.
Enjoy your week. Enjoy your sports. Enjoy OurSports.
