- If magicJack is considered to be the continuation of the Washington Freedom, that team qualified for every playoff series.
- Two core groups of players have played together in all three seasons and qualified for the playoffs:
- Freedom-magicJack, centered on Abby Wambach
- Sol-Gold Pride-Flash, centered on Marta
- The team to win the regular season in each of the league's first two seasons, which were also the league's attendance leaders, folded during the following offseason.
