[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NWSL is setting up for NWSL Next...
https://www.cbssports.com/soccer/news/nwsl-submits-application-to-u-s-soccer-for-launch-of-division-ii-league-starting-in-2026/

According to the application, eight NWSL teams currently have teams lined up for a 2026 start: Bay FC, Kansas City Current, North Carolina Courage, NJ/NY Gotham FC, Orlando Pride, Racing Louisville, Seattle Reign and Washington Spirit.

"According to CBS Sports, all current NWSL teams will have a Division II team by the fourth year, which would correlate to 2029. However, teams that are unaffiliated with the NWSL “will also be welcome to join the Division II league at some point.”"

For those unaware MLSN has Academy teams who are associated with MLS pro clubs and non Academy teams in the same league.

NWSL just announced that Academies will happen. They've also stated that there will be other non Academy clubs involved in the league. This is basically MLSN. The only thing thats not announced is a partnership with a youth league.[/quote]

This is a Tier 2 adult league. its akin to NLS Next Pro. Nothing to do with youth soccer.  They even stated in the goal.com article it was for "post-college" players.[/quote]
Ahh didn't see that part.

But it's becoming more and more obvious that NWSL is becoming exactly like MLS when it comes to player pipelines.[/quote]
