Like much of the rest of the world, the Women’s Football Alliance was not immune from disruption in 2020 and 2021. This weekend, the WFA is back — and so are the Pittsburgh Passion.

The Passion are scheduled to open their season at 6 p.m. Saturday at the Detroit Venom. It was the Detroit franchise that the Passion met the most recent time it played a game — June 29, 2019, in the Eastern Conference championship game at West Allegheny High School.

Saturday’s regular-season opener at The Hawk Community Center in Farmington Hills, Mich., can be followed on the Passion’s official Twitter page, @pghpassionFB.

The organization has won three national championships, most recently in 2015. The past two years they did not play out of concerns related to the coronavirus pandemic.

Owned in part by former Pittsburgh Steelers Hall of Famer Franco Harris, the Passion’s home opener is scheduled for April 30 against the Tri-State Warriors.

Their six-game regular season runs through the final weekend of May.
