KANSAS CITY (Interstat) — A dominant Kansas City side looks to continue its historic NWSL campaign when it hosts the surging San Diego Wave on Sunday in a regular-season finale with major playoff implications.

Kansas City (25-3-6), which has already clinched the league’s top seed, is chasing the record for most points in a season. Their 81 points from 34 games have them on the brink of history, fueled by a stifling defense that has conceded a league-low 18 goals.

They will face a San Diego Wave (12-9-10) team that has found its scoring touch at a crucial time. After a mid-season slump, the Wave erupted for a 6-1 victory over the Chicago Stars in their last outing on Oct. 18. That offensive explosion, combined with a 3-2 win over Utah on Oct. 11, has solidified their playoff positioning.

The teams last met on April 12, with Kansas City securing a 2-0 road victory. The Wave will aim to avenge that loss and carry their recent momentum into the postseason.

Kansas City, however, is coming off a rare defeat, a 1-0 loss to the Houston Dash on Oct. 18 that snapped a lengthy unbeaten streak. Across all competitions, Kansas City is 27-3-6, demonstrating their consistency.

Despite Kansas City’s formidable home record, the Interstat game simulator projects a tightly contested 1-1 draw. The match will test San Diego’s resurgent attack against the league’s most formidable defense.

Kickoff is set for Sunday, Nov. 2, 2025.
