It's NWSL championship week!

It's team continuity vs. team chaos.

To get ready for Saturday's final between the Orlando Pride and the Washington Spirit, Full Time is tracing each NWSL club's journey to the final at CPKC Stadium in Kansas City.

Hosts Tamerra Griffin and Meg Linehan are joined by The Athletic's Steph Yang and Emily Olsen to get a deeper look at both clubs and speak to the experts who have covered the teams up close.

Who are the characters that make these teams so special? What have been the key turning points in a turbulent 2024 season? What would winning a NWSL championship mean to each club? Where could the final be won and lost?
