What happened: The NWSL regular season ends with the Shield still unclaimed. The final playoff berth remains open entering the last matches. Quarterfinal home-field advantage is also still to be settled.

Why it matters: The Shield decides the top seed for the postseason. The last berth sets the full quarterfinal field. Home-field advantage shapes the opening round.

What to watch: Results on the final day will lock the standings. The playoff bracket follows once the finale is complete.
