Chicago Red Stars (5-2-6, 17 points, sixth in NWSL) will look to snap their four-match winless streak when they travel to face North Carolina Courage (5-1-7, 16 points, seventh in NWSL) on Sunday.
The Red Stars are at the halfway point of their 2024 NWSL season and remain firmly embroiled in the postseason picture despite an up-and-down campaign so far.
The hosts are without a win in their last four and would have been on a four-match losing streak if Sam Staab hadn't scored an equalizing goal in the dying embers of last weekend's 2-2 draw on the road in Kansas City. With both teams separated by just one point, the match at WakeMed Soccer Park has major ramifications for the NWSL standings.
Here, GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.
