Match Week 6 5/1-3 (all times Pacific)

Which games will you be watching? What are your predictions? Scores, reds, yellows, which players get G+A? Does it matter if a team that has played 7 games is up against a team that's only played 5? Weigh in in the comments!

Form is old-new L-to-R, followed by overall W-L-D record for each team, e.g. “San Diego WWWDL 3-2-1.”

Teams who played a midweek game are underlined.

Home	Away	Field	Date/ Time	Where to watch	Notes
Houston, WWLWL 3-2-0	Seattle, LWWDL 3-2-1	Shell Energy	Fri 5pm	Victory+	Comparable records, both with decent schedule strength but I think SEA has more to prove in 2026. Also they’re probably going to be missing Fishlock who’s been key so far.
Orlando, DWDWL 2-2-2	Washington, DDWWW 3-1-3	Inter&Co	Sat 1pm	ION	WAS is not interested in losing or tying anymore. José the coyote and intangibles brought them to a 3-game win streak. ORL is coming off a 2-3 loss against LOU (who WAS beat 1-0 midweek). Transitive property says WAS takes this one, do you agree?
NC, DLDWD 2-1-3	KC, LLLWL 2-4-0	WakeMed	Sat 3:30pm	ION	Ashley Sanchez is on fire this season. KC is decidedly not. NC really stuck in to claw back a point after being down 2-0 to BOS in the first half Wed. KC is well rested and coming off a resounding L at Audi field. Potentially a good game if KC doesn’t overcrowd the ten space but I have exactly zero confidence in Armas at this point.
ACFC, WWWLL 3-2-0	Utah, LDWWW 3-2-1	BMO	Sat 5:45pm	ION	UTA is red hot now that they have all their players healthy again, while LA needs to get back to their winning ways. At least Miyabi & Hammond will be back to visit BMO if nothing else good comes of this game.
Chicago, LLLWL 2-5-0	Portland, LWDWW 5-1-1	Northwestern Medicine	Sun 10am	ESPN2 or app*	Can CHI find some more lakeside magic to beat the #2 team in the league? Both are on short recovery from midweek games, but one team has Sophia Wilson (scoring mode activated) plus a glut of attacking talent, and the other does not have Mal Swanson (yet).
Boston, LLLLD 0-5-1	Denver, DWDDL 1-2-3	Gillette	Sun 12pm	CBSSN	BOS still seeking a franchise-first win, though they broke a 5-game losing streak with a draw vs NC Wed. DEN are fully rested & have looked like the better team on the season, yet BOS has finally scored more than one goal in a game. Maybe if they figure out game management/defending a lead they can get some points. Would be cool for them to get that first W at home, too.
Gotham, LDLWW 3-2-2	Louisville, DLLWL 1-4-1	Sports Illustrated	Sun 2pm	CBSSN	The elves in Amorós’ brain have given us Midge Purce (right back) and Guro Reiten (left back) and still somehow won games. GFC plagued with injuries yet performing is classic. LOU meanwhile should be coming in mad at a 1-0 loss to WAS that was exciting to the last minute.
SD, WWWWL 5-2-0	Bay, WLWLL 2-3-0	Snapdragon	Sun 4pm	Victory+	SD ended a 5-game win streak vs POR Wed and will be eager to turn that momentum around at home. BAY is coming off consecutive 3-0 and 2-0 losses, so they need to find a way to start scoring. Granted BAY have difficult schedule strength here - the losses were to GFS and WAS, and now they’re up against SD.

Form is old-new L-to-R, followed by overall W-L-D record for each team, e.g. “San Diego WWWDL 3-2-1.” 

Home	Away	Field	Wed. Time	Where to watch	Notes
Boston, LLLLL 0-5-0	NCC, WDLDW 2-1-2	Gillette	4pm	Victory+	Three guesses who wins. I’m rooting for Ashley Sanchez & Manaka to do cool soccer, regardless of scoreline. BOS have been missing starting defenders Kaká and N. Hernández. Unsure of return timelines, but could make a big difference if they’re back.
Washington,DDDWW 2-1-3	Louisville, LDLLW 1-1-3	Audi	4pm	Victory+	Interesting matchup, with both teams coming off wins against theoretically strong teams (LOU beat ORL 3-2 and WAS beat KC 4-0).
Chicago, WLLLW 2-4-0	Gotham, DLDLW 2-2-2	Northwestern Medicine	5pm	Victory+	GFC reinvigorated after the intl break, thumping BAY 3-0; while CHI beat a long-suffering BOS 2-0 at home. Huitema seems to like her new team, scoring in 2/2 games played.
Portland, WLWDW 4-1-1	San Diego, WWWWW 5-1-0	Providence	7pm	CBS/P+	Whoever made the schedule correctly guessed this should be a fun game, and put it After Dark (TM) on the big broadcast network. Ready to see Tordin & Dudinha breaking ankles, Dali assists, MelB fancy footwork, and most importantly Sophia Wilson embarrassing a goalie other than my team’s.
