The National Women's Soccer League Players Association (often known as NWSL Players Association or NWSLPA) is the officially recognized union of players in the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL).

[1] The NWSLPA was formed in May 2017 under the leadership of Yael Averbuch[2] and represented by lawyer and former WPS player Meghann Burke.

[6][7] Until the end of the 2021 season, the NWSLPA membership excluded United States federation players because those players were contracted with the US Soccer Federation (USSF) for their play in the NWSL.

[8] In December 2021, the USSF and the union representing the U.S. national team (USWNT) agreed to end the NWSL federation players system, which means that USWNT players playing in the NWSL are now contracted directly to their NWSL teams and that those players will also be represented in their club employment by the NWSLPA.

[8] As of February 2022,[update] the NWSLPA is led by executive director Meghann Burke and president Tori Huster.
