Verified facts, assumptions & sources
Verified facts
Snapshot after Sept. 20: Angel City 39, North Carolina 39, Kansas City 38, Seattle 37, Denver 35 and Orlando 30. All six have played 25 matches.
The 2026 league has 16 teams, a 30-match regular season, and the top eight qualify. The first tiebreaker is goal differential.
Scenario assumptions
Win = 3 points, draw = 1, loss = 0. The calculator changes points for five Denver-relevant matches from Friday through Sunday. It does not predict scorelines, odds, or every club’s remaining schedule.
