With the NWSL quarterfinals complete and the semifinalists identified, the players whose seasons ended this weekend will be walking home with some extra cash for making the playoffs. Seattle, Louisville, and San Diego will all be earning the $1,250 each player, while Kansas City players will receive $6,250 due to the extra $5,000 bonus for winning the NWSL Shield. 

The semifinalists will take home $2,500 each, while the Championship runner ups will get $3,750 and the Championship winners will receive $5,000. 

In the 2027 season, there will be a bump up for playoff bonuses for players who make it to the NWSL Championship game or win the NWSL Shield.
