The Seattle Reign FC has maintained a competitive position in the National Women’s Soccer League playoff race through key victories.

In early August, the Reign secured a 3–2 win against Bay FC. The match was decided by a late goal from veteran midfielder Jess Fishlock, which marked her 50th career regular-season goal in the league. This victory placed the Reign level on points with several teams, though they remained just outside the playoff positions at that time.

By late August, the Reign moved into the final postseason spot following a 1–0 victory over the Houston Dash. Maddie Dahlien scored the decisive goal in the 52nd minute. As the season progresses, both the Reign and the Dash are preparing for upcoming roster changes due to players departing for the U-20 Women’s World Cup.
