Shield Clinched Shield Bye Quarterfinal bye Playoff Playoff qualification Bye Eliminated from that line Out Eliminated

PB = Points behind 1st place

±2^nd = Point gap relative to 2nd place — quarterfinal bye (positive = above, negative = below)

±6^th = Point gap relative to 6th place — playoff qualification (positive = above, negative = below)

Best / Worst = Best and worst possible finishing position based on remaining matches

Scenarios

What each club needs, and what it cannot control. Every claim here is a guarantee against any way the remaining fixtures could fall — not a prediction.

Points still needed, or clinched and eliminated status, for each club on each cutoff line.
Club	The Shield	Quarterfinal bye	Playoff qualification	Avoiding last place
Angel City FC	Out	Out	—	In
Chicago Red Stars	Out	Out	Out	Out
Houston Dash	Out	Out	Out	In
Kansas City Current	Out	Out	Out	In
NJ/NY Gotham FC	Out	Out	—	In
North Carolina Courage	Out	Out	In	In
OL Reign	Out	Out	In	In
Orlando Pride	Out	Out	—	In
Portland Thorns FC	Out	In	In	In
Racing Louisville FC	Out	Out	Out	In
San Diego Wave FC	In	In	In	In
Washington Spirit	Out	Out	Out	In

A number is the points a club still needs to guarantee that line. In clinched, Out cannot reach it, If depends on a result elsewhere, — nothing guarantees it yet.
