Things to Do in DC
The Wharf
Start match day where the fans gather. The Wharf, on the Southwest DC waterfront, is hosting NWSL Fan Fest before the Championship, with giveaways, entertainment and special guests. Stick around afterward for dinner by the water, since the whole stretch is lined with restaurants and bars. Details and registration are on the NWSL Fan Fest page.
The National Mall
Got a free morning before kickoff? Head to the National Mall and walk from the Capitol toward the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial. The Smithsonian museums along the way are free to enter, so you can duck into a couple without planning much at all.
The U.S. Capitol and Capitol Hill
If you’re staying on Capitol Hill, the Capitol is practically your neighbor. Free tours start at the Capitol Visitor Center (booking ahead online is the way to go), and the Library of Congress sits right across the street.
Navy Yard and The Yards Park
Closer to the stadium, Navy Yard makes an easy pre-match hangout. The Yards Park runs along the Anacostia River with a boardwalk and plenty of room to stretch your legs, and the neighborhood’s restaurants and breweries are just steps away. When it’s time, Audi Field is an easy walk from here.
Insider Tips for the NWSL Championship
Let Metro do the work. The Green Line stops at Navy Yard-Ballpark and Waterfront, both close to Audi Field, and most of the hotels above are a quick ride away.
Check the rules before you pack. The venue and the league set the bag policy, gate times and what you can bring in, so give Audi Field and the NWSL a quick look before match day.
Bring a layer. With the stadium right on the river, it can feel chilly once the sun goes down. Pack something warm, and don’t forget your scarf.
Make a weekend of it. Between Fan Fest, the Mall and the waterfront, there’s plenty to fill the hours before kickoff, so don’t save all your plans for the stadium.
Book early. Rooms closest to the stadium are the first to go, so lock in your stay now and save your energy for the match.
