The Orlando Pride’s 2026 season ended Sunday with a 1-0 loss to Seattle Reign FC in front of 16,095 fans at Lumen Field in Seattle.

Orlando concludes its campaign with a record of 11-16-3 and 36 points. Seattle (14-11-5, 47 points) clinched a playoff spot with the victory on the final match day of the NWSL regular season.

Orlando was a playoff semifinalist last season and NWSL champions in 2024. It was a difficult season for the Pride, which finished in 11th place and included the firing of head coach Seb Hines on Aug. 31.

“What sticks with me is the resilience of the players to continue to show up every day,” interim head coach Yolanda Thomas, who led Orlando to a 3-4-1 record, said in comments provided by the team. “We know we didn’t achieve the outcome that’s expected of this club.

“We know we didn’t achieve the outcomes that we expect of each other, but there was no shortage of players choosing to dig deep and show up every day in the building and every day on game day.”

The sides played a tightly contested opening half, with both clubs neutralizing each other’s opportunities in the attacking third. Defender Oihane made a crucial goal-line clearance on Nerilia Mondésir’s header in the 17th minute, while Cosette Morché made a key save from close range on Jess Fishlock’s shot in the 43rd minute to keep the match scoreless heading into halftime.

Coming out of the break, Seattle found the breakthrough in the 68th minute from a corner kick, with Jordan Bugg reacting first to a loose ball in the box and slotting it home to pull ahead.

“As always, I am sad to lose,” Oihane said. “But I think the team did a great job. It’s going to be good for us to get into the offseason, reset and begin preparing for next season.”

League play will return in February 2027.
