With the amount of interested ownership groups, I don't see them stopping at 14 teams. Probably will get to 16 by 2026 once Chicago and Orlando get moved
Utah and Atlanta for '24
Chicago relocates to Cincinnati
Orlando relocates to Austin
Bay Area and Toronto join in '26

Based on what's recently come out, I'll say:
Utah and Bay Area for '24 [14 teams]
Chicago relocates to Cincinnati in '24
Atlanta joins in '25 [15 teams]
Toronto joins in '26 [16 teams]
No expansion in 2027
Probable expansion again in 2028 [18 teams]
*Orlando potentially relocates as well
With over 30 potential ownership groups interested, it's simply a matter of how the league paces itself and doesn't over-expand. If only the WNBA was so lucky to have this issue.

| I live in WNY & would love a weekend trip to Toronto. Rochester, NY was never a hotbed of soccer, at least not enough to pull in the number of fans that they have the ability to in Toronto. I just wish it would be sooner than 2026.

Toronto probably doesn't happen for the NWSL as their will be a women's soccer league in Canada beginning in 2025. I'd say replace Toronto with Austin for 2026. League probably splits into two conferences once they hit 16 teams
EAST: Gotham FC, Washington, Atlanta, North Carolina, Cincinnati, Orlando, Louisville, Kansas City
WEST: Reign FC, Portland, Bay Area, Angel City, San Diego, Utah, Houston, Austin
