The NWSL Losers Belt · current holder
Boston Legacy FC
Boston Legacy FC picked it up on September 20, 2026, losing to Houston Dash 2–1. To get rid of it, they have to win a game.
Same schedule, same rules, flipped: the Losers Belt passes to whoever loses to its holder. It's the crown nobody wants, and some clubs have worn it for years. It started on April 13, 2013, when Portland Thorns FC lost to FC Kansas City.
