The 2024 National Women’s Soccer League season is five matchweeks old. Too early to start talking about contenders for Most Valuable Player, you say? Nonsense!
Welcome to the first edition of ESPN’s NWSL MVP Tracker. After every five rounds of matches of the season, we will check in on who’s in form and who should be in the conversation for the NWSL’s MVP award, the ultimate individual honor for a full season of work.
The 2024 season is still young and as you’ll see in our ranking below, several players who are new to the league or on new teams are off to flying starts. But you can expect to see plenty of changes to this list in our future MVP Tracker check-ins as our sample size of player performances grows.
There are several star players who aren’t on this list, but you’d bet on them improving (and helping their teams improve) over the course of the season enough to ultimately land on this list. That’s why we’ll be tracking the MVP race throughout the season.
