NWSL playoff picture: Clinching scenarios, standings, Decision Day schedule

The NWSL Shield and eighth and final playoff spot are up for grabs on the final day of the NWSL regular season.

Three teams are still alive for the final place in the postseason, with the Seattle Reign knowing a win over the visiting Orlando Pride would get them in.

Any slip-up would open the door for the North Carolina Courage or expansion side Denver Summit FC to swoop in and take the final place.

Additionally, Gotham FC and the San Diego Wave are both pushing to clinch the NWSL Shield for the league's best regular-season record.

The Washington Spirit and Kansas City Current are pushing for a top-four finish and home playoff match, while red-hot Angel City hopes it can earn a home playoff game with a win over Boston Legacy and some help.
