NWSL Player of the Week


The National Women's Soccer League Player of the Week was a weekly soccer award given to individual players in the National Women's Soccer League from 2013 to 2023. The honor was awarded by popular social media vote to the player deemed to have put in the best performances over the past week. The award was replaced by the Goal of the Week award in 2024, but was brought back in 2025.

Selection

From 2013 to 2022, the winner was selected by the NWSL Media Association, an organization of journalists who regularly cover the league. Since week 2 of the 2022 NWSL season, the winner was selected by the results of a Twitter poll posted by the league.
