Gotham FC and the Kansas City Current are set to meet in the NWSL Playoffs, yet again.

One year after Gotham FC upset the Current in the 2025 postseason and went on to become the lowest seed to win a title, the two clubs will face off in the semifinals on Sunday, Nov. 15, in New York City. This time, Gotham FC is the No. 1 overall seed. Can the No. 4 seed Current get revenge and play spoiler this time around?

"Obviously, there's a target on our back being the No. 1 seed," Gotham forward Jaedyn Shaw said on Sunday. "We worked our butts off to be in this position ... but you know, this league, anything can happen."

Gotham FC advanced to the semifinals for the third consecutive season after sneaking past the Settle Reign in a 1-0 quarterfinal victory,

where Seattle's own goal in the fourth minute was the only ball to find the back of the net. The Current defeated Angel City FC 1-0 in extra minutes, behind a converted penalty shot from Michelle Cooper to extend Kansas City's win streak to six consecutive games.

When asked if Kansas City feels like an underdog, Michelle Cooper confidently said, "Absolutely not."

Due to poor field conditions, the semifinal matchup hosted by Gotham FC will be moved from the 25,000-seat Sports Illustrated Stadium, their home venue, to the 5,000-seat Icahn Stadium.
