Match: Orlando Pride vs. Seattle Reign – 5:00 p.m. EST
How to watch: ION

Seattle Reign and Orlando Pride meet in a season finale full of personal and club milestones. In Seattle's recent 2-1 win over Houston, Nérilia Mondésir made history as the first Haitian player to score in the NWSL. While Seattle has had an incredibly close season, with 21 of its 25 games ending in a draw or goal, Orlando's Barbra Banda is a goalscoring phenomenon, tying Marta's club record of 13 goals in a single season. It will certainly make it difficult for Reign to finish the 2024 season with a good result.

Match: North Carolina Courage vs. Washington Spirit – 7:30 p.m. EST
How to watch: ION

The Washington Spirit travel to North Carolina to face the Courage in a high-stakes game with both individual and team records on the line. North Carolina enters this game on an impressive 21-game unbeaten streak at home, one shy of the league record, and has also won its last four games against Washington, including three straight shutouts. However, Washington has momentum and picked up two commanding victories by at least two goals each, setting an NWSL record for wins by multiple goals in a season. To add to the significance of the game, a win and a draw or loss for Gotham the night before will ensure Washington secures the No. 2 seed.

Match: Houston Dash vs. Bay FC – 9:30 p.m. EST
How to watch: ION

Bay FC and Houston Dash face off Saturday night in an important game for the expansion team, which needs a win or a draw to advance to the playoffs in its first year of existence. Bay FC's exciting attacking duo of Racheal Kundananji and Asisat Oshoala have contributed to half of Bay's goals this season, with Kundananji assisting Abby Dahlkemper in the team's recent 1-0 win over North Carolina. Bay FC's 10 wins this season tie with San Diego for the most wins ever for a new team, while Houston will be hoping for a strong finish as the last-place team has bounced back in each of the last three seasons and the following year reached the playoffs. In their last meeting, Dash defeated Bay FC 3-2 with a string of late goals, setting the stage for a thrilling second leg with playoff implications.
