Peak Freak: An NWSL Season Preview with Jeff Kassouf
About this episode
With the 2026 NWSL season kicking off this weekend, ESPN soccer writer Jeff Kassouf joins Sarah to discuss what to expect from the league’s 16(!) teams, break down the biggest offseason storylines, share the simplest explanation of the High Impact Player rule, and reflect on the league hitting ‘peak freak’ mode as front offices watched players depart for teams in Europe. Plus, a fresh listen to beloved old tunes leaves much to be desired.
