What is the NSL?
The NSL is a team and city based league similar to other major league sports in the United States. The scoring format is unprecedented and enhances squash’s fast-paced and tactical qualities to constantly re-engage viewers.
The competition consists of a 3 vs 3 team match played over 3 periods of timed squash, the first two periods being 20 minutes in duration and the third and final period being 30 minutes. The first two periods are worth one point each and the 3rd period is worth two points. In the event of a tie, one five minute overtime period is played. During the each of the first 2 periods teams can make 2 substitutions at any time, and in the third period each team will have 3 substitutions. Each team can also call a single Power Play in each of the first two periods, and two Power Plays in the third period. Only the team on Power Play can score points for a 2 minute duration.
The men's regular season will be contested in a group stage format consisting of three groups of three teams in East, North and South divisions. The winner of each group and a fourth wild card will make it through to the 2025 NSL Semifinals. The women's regular season will be contested by four teams in home-and-away matches in a North and South Division to establish seeding for the 2025 NSL Semifinals. The Semifinals and Finals will take place at the Arlen Specter US Squash Center in Philadelphia.
