Background

The Spirit entered 2026 after finishing as runners-up in the 2025 NWSL Championship. Head coach Adrián González returned for his second full season in charge. During the offseason, Washington signed forward Trinity Rodman to a new three-year contract through 2028.^[2]

Washington began the season without goalkeeper Aubrey Kingsbury and defender Casey Krueger, who were placed on maternity leave, while midfielder Andi Sullivan returned after missing most of the previous season due to injury.^[3]
