On the latest edition of Next in Sports on Bloomberg Television, hosts Jason Kelly and Vanessa Perdomo explore the world of women's pro soccer.

It's added four new franchises in just two years, with the latest selling for $53 million—10 times the amount of the last sale. Now, the NWSL is trying to capitalize on the hype of the women's World Cup, leveraging the US women’s national team to bring fans into American stadiums. Host Scarlet Fu sits down with Jason and Vanessa to dicuss the latest episode in their series, and how the NWSL can continue to grow.
