| Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the NWSL played a Challenge Cup tournament and a Fall Series in which each of the eight clubs participated. The Challenge Cup featured four preliminary round games for each team, followed by knockout quarterfinals, semifinals and a final (won by the Houston Dash). The Fall Series also featured four games for each team. The Portland Thorns went 3-0-1 and won the Series. | |||||||
