The National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) plans to abandon the Challenge Cup as a tournament in 2024, according to The Equalizer.

The league will instead play a single game before the 2024 regular season between the 2023 Shield winner and NWSL champion.
This year, Racing Louisville will play OL Reign and North Carolina will take on Kansas City in the 2023 Challenge Cup semifinals.
The winners will earn $1 million in prize money to be split among the players.
