WE WON FOUR TO NOTHING. Most assertive win in Angel City history! Angela recaps the home opener from the press box (where she had to stay quiet 😤), Mario has major FOMO about meeting iHeart's Isaac and Tracey, and we break down the Bay FC match ahead. Our featured Angel is Kennedy Fuller — the 19-year-old midfield phenom who just keeps leveling up.

NWSL 2026 Kickoff

We’re officially back for the 2026 season, and this episode is our big league-wide reset before we go full Angel City next week. We get into the Trinity Rodman re-signing and the messy new “high impact player” rule, then run through the key dates you need for the season and a break down how to actually watch games with this year’s streaming and TV situation. After that, we do a (semi)quick whip-around of the NWSL offseason. Who leveled up, who took a hit, and which teams (including the new clubs) might cause chaos.

Backpasses Ep. 1: A Quick (Wild) History of Women’s Pro Soccer in the U.S.

We just fired up the time machine and took the most chaotic walk through U.S. women’s soccer history—because if you’re loving the NWSL right now, you should know what it took to get here. We go from the barely-documented 1919 league, to the Craig League in 1950, to the USWNT forming in the ‘80s, to the brutal three-season curse of WUSA and WPS. We get into the WPSL quietly holding it down, then the early NWSL “YouTube days,” the Lifetime storytelling wins, and the GO90 streaming nightmare. And we don’t dodge the hard stuff: the 2021 reporting, the Yates investigation, and why real player protections finally had to happen. Come argue, learn, and nerd out with us—this series is just getting started.
