Megan Linehan

I'm a national staff writer at The Athletic covering the NWSL, U.S. women's national team and more from the world of women's soccer. I covered the 2019 Women's World Cup from France, and travel to cover the USWNT and NWSL, and will cover the 2021 Tokyo Olympics and 2023 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.

I also host a weekly podcast about women's soccer, Full Time with Meg Linehan. I host a weekly digital show, The Fixture by WICC, brought to you by the Women's International Champions Cup.

I've been a fan of women's soccer since the 1999 Women's World Cup in the United States, interned with the Boston Breakers during the days of the WUSA, the first women's professional league, and started covering soccer in 2012. For more about my work, visit meglinehan.com
