| 2024 NWSL Challenge Cup | |
The NWSL Challenge Cup was first held in 2020 as a one-off tournament to mark the league's return to action from the COVID-19 pandemic. It was the first top-tier professional sports league in the United States to restart after COVID-19 lockdowns began. Subsequently, the NWSL announced that it would return as an annual league cup competition. After the 2023 season, the NWSL announced that the Challenge Cup would change from a league cup to a supercup starting in 2024.
