The Offseason is finally here, and you’ve never seen the National Women’s Soccer League quite like this. The docuseries, premiering Friday on X, follows 11 NWSL players to Miami as the group prepares for their upcoming season. Co-created by entrepreneur and investor Alexis Ohanian (husband of Serena Williams) and NJ/NY Gotham FC star Midge Purce, The Offseason is produced by Box to Box Films (responsible for Drive to Survive and Break Point) and 32 Flavors (the production company for Vanderpump Rules and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills). Cameras follow as the cast—including Purce, Kansas City’s Lo’eau LaBonta and Houston Dash’s Maria Sanchez—as they navigate new contracts, injuries and preseason pressure.
Purce spoke with Sports Illustrated ahead of the show’s premiere, opening up about her behind-the-scenes work, why she felt this was an important project to make, and what fans can expect from the series.
