The 2026 National Women’s Soccer League season kicks off on March 13, and we at The Equalizer are previewing all 16 teams for you. We’re kicking things off with the teams that finished in the top four of the 2025 regular season standings.
Last Season: 9-8-9 (8th place, NWSL Champions)Head Coach: Juan Carlos Amorós (4th season with Gotham)
Key Losses: Ella Stevens, Geyse, Josefine HasboKey Additions: Jordynn Dudley, Savannah McCaskill
About the offseason: Gotham had two of its attacking roster leave during the offseason. Ella Stevens was a big part of the team’s 2024 regular season success, and started almost every match for the side in 2025 before suffering an injury in June. Geyse, the flashy Brazilian who came to Gotham on loan from Manchester United in late March, has also departed. She made 17 regular season appearances for the squad in 2025, scoring 2 goals and making 2 assists. She also scored against Club América — her new club — in the Concacaf W Champions Cup semifinal. In Danish midfielder Josefine Hasbo, Gotham loses a consistent starter, but her absence shouldn’t be felt too deeply considering midfield is their deepest position. Stevens and Hasbo both join expansion side Boston Legacy for 2026.
