NWSL has decreased interest recently in inverse proportion to Europe's increased interest and investment in women's soccer. NWSL is still very relevant though, successfully ran a pandemic league and showed all the other major leagues how to do it. Got more engagement on social media than any other US league except WNBA. Women's sports receive attention along with the exposure they get in the media. When the media catches on and realizes that there is an appetite for women's sports coverage and makes it available the audience shows up. Comparing viewership of a game for one sport broadcast live on major tv networks to a game only available through a wonky streaming service is just silliness.

To maximize its growth, NWSL will have to figure out how to compete with Europe in attracting top talent i.e. pay the players what their worth. If they continue down the MLS path of targeting second rate players and producing a second rate product they will end up an afterthought league just like MLS.[/quote]
