It is the first time the title contest will be held in the nation's capital, at the home of the Washington Spirit, since the 2022 season. The Portland Thorns defeated the Kansas City Current 2-0 before a crowd of 17,624 in that one.

Eight teams will qualify for the playoffs in the expanded 16-team league, with quarterfinal and semifinal rounds leading up to the title game.
