Fishlock out to keep career alive in NWSL play-offs
On Sunday, 1 November, Jess Fishlock takes to the pitch for Seattle Reign against Orlando Pride, not knowing if it will be her final match.
Wales legend Jess Fishlock will take the pitch for Seattle Reign against Orlando Pride in the 2026 NWSL play-offs, on Sunday, November 1st, without knowing if it will be her final match. The Seattle Reign are fighting for the final play-off spot along with NC Courage and Denver Summit, all with higher goal differences than Reign and two and three points behind respectively.
However, they face each other on the final day of the season. Fishlock, who has been in the league since 2013, has won three NWSL Shields and never won the play-offs before, finishing as runner-up three times. Her retirement will close a chapter in Reign's history, marking the end of an era for the league, and afford Fishlock the chance to return home more often.
