The 2014 National Women's Soccer League season is the second season of the National Women's Soccer League, the top division of women's soccer in the United States. Including the NWSL's two professional predecessors, Women's Professional Soccer (2009–2011) and the Women's United Soccer Association (2001–2003), this is the eighth overall season of FIFA and USSF-sanctioned top division women's soccer in the United States. The league is operated by the United States Soccer Federation and receives major financial backing from that body. Further financial backing is expected to be provided by the Canadian Soccer Association and the Mexican Football Federation. All three national federations pay the league salaries of many of their respective national team members in an effort to nurture talent in those nations.
The regular season began the weekend of April 12–13 and ended August 20, with the championship game played on August 30.[3] FC Kansas City defeated the Shield winners Seattle Reign FC 2-1 to win the NWSL title.[4]
The league had announced it would not expand for the 2014 season[5] and was not expected to contract.[6] However, after a push from the Houston Dynamo, the league approved the expansion of the Houston Dash.[7]

The full capacities of their venues are included in parentheses and italics. The Boston Breakers, [8] FC Kansas City, [9] and Seattle Reign [10] moved to new stadia for 2014, while the Houston Dash was an expansion franchise. [11]

Tiebreakers
The initial determining factor for a team's position in the standings is most points earned, with three points earned for a win, one point for a draw, and zero points for a loss. If two or more teams tie in point total, when determining rank and playoff qualification and seeding, the NWSL uses the following tiebreaker rules, going down the list until all teams are ranked.
If two teams tie:
- Head to Head win/loss record between the two teams.
- Greater goal difference across the entire season (against all teams, not just tied teams).
- Greatest total number of goals scored (against all teams).
- Apply #1-3 to games played on the road.
- Apply #1-3 to games played at home.
- If teams are still equal, ranking will be determined by a coin toss.
If three or more teams tie, the following rules apply until only two teams remain tied, at which point the two-team tiebreakers listed above are used:
- Points per game against all other tied teams (total all points earned in games against tied teams and divide by games played against tied teams).
- Greater goal difference across the entire season (against all teams, not just tied teams).
