The Pittsburgh Passion will be heading to the Pro Football Hall of Fame next weekend. The Passion, who are the sixth oldest franchise in the Women's Football Alliance, will be attempting to win their first-ever WFA crown. Pittsburgh last played in the final of the Independent Women's Football League in 2015.

The Passion (7-1) will play the Minnesota Vixen at 2 p.m. on Saturday at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium. Pittsburgh has won three championships during its history, including back-to-back IWFL championships in 2014-15. The Passion also won the National Women's Football Association in 2008.

The Passion have won the National Conference in each of the past three seasons. However, Pittsburgh fell one step short of reaching the championship game, losing in the National Conference final in 2022, 2024 and 2025. The Passion bested their old rivals, the DC Divas, to reach the WFA final.
