SAN DIEGO COUNTY, Calif. — After their first season in San Diego, the Wave will host a NWSL Quarterfinal game at Snapdragon Stadium on October 16 at 7 p.m. against the Chicago Red Stars! The team finished with a 10-6-6 record which solidified the team in third place in their division.
San Diego Wave FC clinched its spot in the quarterfinals two weeks ago against the Orlando Pride and is the first and only expansion team in league history to make the playoffs in its inaugural season. The team fought back from a two-goal deficit on the road to earn a 2-2 draw and its first-ever playoff berth.
The 2022 NWSL playoffs will feature the top six teams (OL Reign, Portland Thorns, San Diego Wave FC, Houston Dash, KC Current and Chicago Red Stars) with the top two seeds earning a first-round bye to the semifinals.
The semi-finals will take place the weekend of Oct. 22-23 on CBS Sports Network ahead of the Championship game on Oct. 29.
All playoff matches will stream internationally on Twitch.
