Gotham FC Meets Kansas City Current in NWSL Semifinal, Streaming on ESPN Unlimited
Gotham FC and the Kansas City Current meet in the 2026 NWSL semifinal on Sunday, Nov. 15, and the winner moves on to the NWSL Championship Final. A semifinal is one of the last two rounds before the title match, so a loss ends a team's season.
Kick-off is at 12 p.m. Pacific and 3 p.m. Eastern, at Icahn Stadium in New York. Gotham FC, based in the New Jersey and New York area, comes in with 18 wins this season. The Kansas City Current has 16.
Opta Analyst, a sports data company, puts Gotham's chance of reaching the final at 45.8 percent, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Fans who want to watch will need ESPN Unlimited, the streaming service from ESPN. The game is streaming there, and a standalone plan starts at $31.99 a month or $319.99 for a full year. ESPN Unlimited is also part of a bundle with Disney+ and Hulu that starts at $35.99 a month, as The Hollywood Reporter reports.
The league's season does not end on the pitch. ESPN will also stream the 2026 NWSL Awards live on Wednesday, Nov. 18, so the same service carries both the semifinal and the awards night.
For anyone who has not followed the league closely, the setup is simple. Win on Sunday and the team plays in the final. Lose and the season is over. Gotham and Kansas City both have a shot, and the next few days will show which one earns a place in the championship match.
