Washington Spirit vs. Chicago Red Stars 2020: Time, TV schedule and how to watch NWSL Fall Series online

The Washington Spirit didn’t start the NWSL Fall Series off like they had hoped, struggling for spells to convert possession into chances, and just as they thought they’d secured a late draw, they conceded a stoppage time goal. Today against the Chicago Red Stars, they face a different challenge from the potent attack Sky Blue FC could call on. The Red Stars are missing some key pieces at both ends of the field, but their depth and a long-standing team culture means they’re always a tough opponent.

Key player: Kumi Yokoyama
