San Diego Wave Confirm Date for NWSL Quarterfinals

San Diego Wave have officially confirmed the date and time of their 2026 NWSL playoff quarterfinal at Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego. The club and the league announced that the match will take place on Friday, November 6, at 7:00 p.m. Pacific Time.

Tickets are already available, although tickets are selling out quick. With a playoff berth secured and home-field advantage guaranteed, Wave will look to make the most of their supporters' energy as they pursue a place in the semifinals.

San Diego's opponent has not yet been determined. The matchup will be finalized after Decision Day, the final round of the regular season, when the league's standings and playoff matchups are decided.

Beyond determining their next opponent, the final weekend of the regular season could bring another major opportunity for the California club: winning the 2026 NWSL Shield, depending on a combination of results. That possibility adds further excitement to a team that has remained in contention near the top of the standings throughout the closing stages of the campaign.

The club has also encouraged supporters to wear pink to the match as a show of support for the team and to fill Snapdragon Stadium with color for what could be a pivotal night in San Diego's championship pursuit.

With the date confirmed and tickets available, Wave fans can begin preparing to support the team as its postseason journey gets underway.
