The tournament will take place at Rio Tinto Stadium and Zions Bank Stadium in suburban Salt Lake City, Utah, with "regular" COVID-19 testing expected for all participants, according to the Salt Lake Tribune, and with some team members expected to arrive as early as next week.
A spokeswoman for the NWSL declined to comment.
The news comes as teams and leagues across North America explore how - and when - they can return to competition, with the bulk of the professional sports calendar on hold since March.
NASCAR returned to action Sunday and the PGA Tour is expected to resume next month after putting on a charity two-on-two match on Sunday as well, while leagues including the NHL and the NBA have not yet set plans for resuming their seasons. Reuters
