Washington returns to Audi Field to face Angel City FC on Saturday, September 26, at 6:30 p.m. Eastern on ION. The Spirit comes home after a 3–0 victory over Chicago Stars FC on September 20.

Trinity Rodman opened that match's scoring in the seventh minute and later assisted Tamara Bolt's first NWSL goal. Andi Sullivan also converted a penalty. Those contributions give Washington several attacking performances to build on against Angel City.

Sandy MacIver's tenth clean sheet set a Spirit single-season club record, according to Washington's match report. Sustaining that defensive standard is the other immediate test after a result that left the Spirit second in the standings with five regular-season matches remaining.

Saturday is CVS Health Day. The Spirit has announced cherry blossom-themed “Rise Up, DC” T-shirts for the first 8,000 fans through the gates, with sizes offered on a first-come basis.
