WNFC Releases 2026 Season Schedule: The Fastest, Fiercest Season Yet

The wait is over. The Women’s National Football Conference (WNFC) has officially released its 2026 regular-season schedule, marking the earliest schedule release in league history,  and signaling that women’s professional football is charging into its biggest year yet.

With 48 fully produced games set to stream live on Victory+, fans will be able to experience every snap, hit, and highlight of the fastest-growing league in women’s sports. The 2026 season will build on the momentum of last year’s thrilling IX Cup, where the Texas Elite Spartans edged the Washington Prodigy by just two points in a game that electrified fans worldwide live on ESPN2.

This year, new rivalries are forming, veterans are returning hungry, and a new era of talent is stepping onto the field.

2026 Season Kickoff: March 28

The WNFC kicks off on March 28, 2026, with a blockbuster Week 1 lineup featuring eight coast-to-coast matchups. Every game matters in this six-game regular season, no warm-ups.

Highlights include:

• Mississippi Panthers at Texas Elite Spartans: A heavyweight rematch to open the year, as the reigning champs begin their title defense at home against one of the most dominant teams in the league.

• Seattle Majestics at Kansas City Glory: Two powerhouse programs with elite defenses collide in the Midwest in what could be an early playoff preview.

• Washington Prodigy at Atlanta Truth:  One of the league’s fiercest rivalries reignites as the Prodigy look for redemption in Atlanta.

• San Diego Rebellion at Golden State Storm: California’s newest franchise makes its long-awaited debut at home against the perennial powerhouse Rebellion.

The Arrival of the Golden State Storm

The Golden State Storm, the WNFC’s newest expansion team, makes their official debut in 2026, and expectations are sky-high. Based in Northern California, the Storm have made headlines all offseason with early signings of top prospects and WNFC All-Pros, positioning themselves as an immediate contender in the Pacific Division.  Their arrival marks a new era for the league’s West Coast footprint, bringing fresh energy, bold branding, and a roster built for speed, swagger, and success.

The Storm’s opening schedule doesn’t pull any punches, with early matchups against San Diego, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles, the expansion squad will be tested from the opening whistle. But if preseason buzz is any indicator, Golden State may be the storm everyone saw coming.

A Season of Storylines

Across the country, every division is loaded with intrigue:

• In the Atlantic, the Atlanta Truth, Washington Prodigy, and Jersey Shore Wave headline a division defined by speed and physicality.

• The Central is a gauntlet, with Chicago, Mississippi, and Tennessee all returning playoff-caliber rosters going head to head with the defending champion Texas.

• Out West in the Pacific, San Diego, Golden State, and Los Angeles headline a Pacific Division where every week feels like a rivalry game.
