Spirit faces Gotham FC in 2025 NWSL championship: Time, channel

The stage is set for the 2025 NWSL championship.

The No. 2 seed Washington Spirit and the No. 8 seed Gotham FC will meet in the NWSL Championship at 8 p.m. ET Saturday, Nov. 22 (CBS, Paramount+) at PayPal Park in San Jose, California.

The Spirit return to the final for the second consecutive season following a dominant 2-0 semifinal win over the No. 3 seed Portland Thorns. Gift Monday scored her second playoff goal in as many games on an assist from Rosemonde Kouassi in the 27th minute, while Croix Bethune buried an empty-net goal in the 83rd minute to ice the match.

Gotham FC ousted the reigning champion Orlando Pride in a thrilling 1-0 semifinal win decided in stoppage time. Jaedyn Shaw scored on a free kick in the 97th minute to secure Gotham’s second championship bid in three years. Shaw has scored two playoff goals and assisted on one this postseason.

Both teams will get a boost from the return of their injured stars. Washington forward Trinity Rodman subbed into the Spirit’s semifinal win at the 90th minute, marking her first appearance of the 2025 postseason since suffering a MCL sprain on Oct. 15. Gotham FC also got back NWSL MVP finalist Esther González, who missed the final two regular season games (hip) and didn’t make an appearance in the quarterfinals.
