While the rest of their teammates enjoy their CBA-mandated weeklong break, 11 Seattle Reign players have joined their senior and youth national teams this week for international friendlies and World Cup qualifiers.
Following their national team camps, these 11 players will get their own NWSL CBA-mandated break. The Reign will then focus on training behind-the-scenes for the month of June, as the league won't return to play until July to accommodate the start of the FIFA Men's World Cup in the United States.
The Reign's next match is Saturday, July 4, against the North Carolina Courage. That game kicks off in Cary, North Carolina, at 3:30 p.m. PT.
Below is a rundown of the Reign international call-ups, along with how to watch the matches being streamed in the United States.
U.S. Women's National Team
Reign goalkeeper Claudia Dickey is back with the U.S. Women's National Team, who are in Brazil to take on the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup hosts in a two-game series. Dickey, who has 10 USWNT caps, should get quality minutes during this FIFA international window. Her primary competitor for the starting USWNT goalkeeper spot, Phallon Tullis-Joyce, had to pull out of the trip after getting a minor injury with Manchester United during the World Sevens Football tournament in London last week.
The USWNT will face Brazil on June 6 (2:30 p.m. PT | TBS, HBO Max, Telemundo, Universo, Peacock) and June 9 (5:30 p.m. PT | TNT, HBO Max, Peacock).
U.S. U-23 WNT
Dickey will be joined by four Reign teammates in Brazil, as Jordyn Bugg, Maddie Dahlien, Mia Fishel, and Neeku Purcell have all been called up to the U.S. U-23 WNT squad for a training camp that runs June 1-June 9 in São Paulo, Brazil.
The U-23 squad will play two matches against Brasileirão Feminino Série A1 side SC Corinthians Paulista, who are currently in first place (9-2-1) and were runners-up in the inaugural FIFA Women's Champions Cup last February.
U.S. Soccer has not shared any streaming details for these games.
While Fishel is 25, the U-23 squad typically features a few players over 23 who are working their way back from injuries or hoping to make a return to the senior national team. It will be an important evaluation period for the Reign forward.
U.S. U-20 WNT
Three Reign players will be in Spain for a week, as Emeri Adames, Ainsley McCammon and Evan O’Steen were called up to the U-20 WNT camp as they prepare for the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup taking place in Poland this September. The U.S. U-20s were drawn into Group D with Italy, Japan, and New Zealand. All players called into the camp are eligible for the tournament.
During this June window, the U-20 WNT will play games against France on June 5 and June 8. No livestream details were shared.
Canada
Reign newcomer Holly Ward will represent Canada in their June 9 match against Costa Rica (6:30 p.m. PT). Ward, who is still only 22 years old, has earned 10 caps for Canada's senior national team. She has scored two goals and earned one assist in those 10 appearances, with her most recent goal coming against Costa Rica, Canada's upcoming opponent.
Haiti
Haiti captain Nérilia Mondésir has been called up to the Haiti Women’s National Team for a training camp in Malaga, Spain, that includes games against New Zealand on June 5 and Equatorial Guinea on June 8. During the last FIFA international window, Haiti qualified for the Concacaf W Championship, which serves as the qualifiers for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
Wales
Angharad James-Turner has been called up by Wales for a pair of FIFA Women’s World Cup qualifying matches during the June FIFA window. Wales currently sits level on points with Czechia in Group B1, which also includes Albania and Montenegro. James-Turner was rested for Cymru's opening match on June 5 against Montenegro, which ended in a 1-1 draw. Wales will close the group stage against Czechia on June 9 (10 a.m. PT).
UEFA, the European football association, gets 11 World Cup spots. Teams are initially split into three leagues to start qualifying, with the top 16 ranked teams in League A, the next 16 in League B, and the final 21 in League C. Wales made it into League B. The winners of the four League A groups qualify directly. The top three teams in each of the four League B groups also enter the playoffs, along with the six group winners and two best runners-up in League C.
The means Wales already has a strong path to the UEFA playoffs, but if Wales wins their group, they will have the most favorable path to the playoffs later this year.
