Women's Super League

The Barclays Women's Super League is the top tier of English women's football, fully professional since 2018 and run by WSL Football. From 2026-27 it expands to 14 clubs, including some of the biggest names in the world game: Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, and Manchester United.

Many players familiar to American fans play here, including US internationals who moved from the NWSL.

In the US, every match streams on Paramount+, with one match a week on CBS Sports Network and select matches free on the CBS Sports Golazo Network. The Essential plan is enough: both Paramount+ plans carry the same WSL coverage, so there is no need to pay for Premium to watch. In the UK, matches air on Sky Sports and the BBC, with the rest on the league's YouTube channel.

The 2026-27 season runs from September 4 to May 22-23: 14 clubs, 26 matchdays, each club playing the others home and away. A win is worth three points, a draw one.

The season pauses for a winter break from December 21 to January 3.

WSL clubs also play in cup competitions during the season: the Subway Players Cup, the Women's FA Cup, and, for the top three finishers, the UEFA Women's Champions League. Champions League clubs sit out the Players Cup this season. DubSports covers the league season; cup fixtures are not listed.
