NWSL xG data
xG data covers team and player expected goals from shot-quality models, often with xA and xGOT. We found 4 sources that publish it for NWSL: American Soccer Analysis, FootyStats, FotMob and StatsBomb Open Data. StatsBomb Open Data only has selected (mostly historical) NWSL seasons, so it suits research more than current-season work. FBref removed its advanced Opta stats, including xG, on 20 January 2026, so these are the places to look now. 6 more providers (such as Dribble and football-data.org) sell xG data but do not publish per-league lists, so they are not counted here.
