The Utah Royals W are preparing for the regular season stage of the 2026 NWSL, and their recent form has been a mixed bag. In their last five games, they have shown glimpses of brilliance, but also experienced some setbacks.

Their 5-1 thrashing of Portland Thorns W was a testament to their attacking prowess, while their 0-1 loss to Washington Spirit W highlighted the importance of defensive solidity.
