The NWSL, the women's soccer league, has established itself as one of the most ambitious leagues, bringing together some of the best players. After the previous season, which concluded in November 2025, a new season begins, and Kansas City Current faces Utah Royals in the opening match.
Kansas City Current was eliminated by New York's Gotham in the quarterfinals; Gotham would go on to win the championship. However, this season Kansas City is positioned as a strong contender, especially after making what was likely the most offseason moves: the experienced Chris Armas will take over as head coach. They have managed to retain the core of last season's team. Bethune remains the key player in Current's midfield. Malawian striker Temwa Chawinga led Kansas City and the league in goals but finished the season injured, unable to help her team in the playoffs.
The league has expanded to 16 teams, and the Utah Lions appear poised to struggle at the bottom of the table. This was the case last season, when they lost 13 games and didn't make any significant additions for the 2026 season.

Our Kansas City Current vs Utah Royals FC Prediction
Kansas City has not only defeated the Utah Royals in every matchup since 2024, but has also kept a clean sheet in every game. Utah hopes that their modest additions this season will improve a roster that generally underwhelmed in 2025, but this doesn't seem likely.
In contrast, Kansas City was a dominant force in the 2025 regular season; they finished first, taking 65 out of a possible 78 points, 22 points ahead of Washington, who came in second.
Our prediction for Kansas City Current vs Utah Royals is: Kansas City Current -1.5.
