Three new teams have joined an expanded Women's Super League for 2026-27, and the BBC has strengthened its coverage to offer the best match action, analysis and debate.

And with the countdown to next summer's Women's World Cup in Brazil already under way, this season's storylines promise to be unmissable.

The BBC is the only place to watch free-to-air WSL football, including 25 matches live on BBC TV and iPlayer throughout the season, kicking off with Chelsea v Aston Villa on Saturday, 5 September at 12:35 BST.

This season, the debate will go further, with a new The Women's Football Fallout segment following every live BBC game.

Fans will be treated to 15 minutes of bonus reaction and insight from the best pundits in the game, such as England legends Fara Williams and Steph Houghton.

Alongside this is the launch of BBC Women's Football YouTube channel, which will be a dedicated space for original video formats, extended highlights of every WSL match and the clips, features and interviews fans need to stay across this season.

The channel will also include new series The Debrief – a fresh weekly show that brings together some of the WSL's best duos and closest friends for an entertaining look at the relationships that make the games tick – with challenges thrown in to boot.

Similarly on YouTube, fans can find videos from the Women's Football Weekly, as BBC Sounds' expert podcast shifts to a Monday to provide the final word on the weekend's football.

Each week, host Ben Haines and all-time Lionesses top scorer Ellen White will be joined by the some of the sport's biggest names to discuss the latest action, news and developments from the WSL, with no topic off-limits.

For the first time this season too, WSL supporters can follow their own club, with dedicated pages on the website and app offering a one-stop shop for the best content the BBC has to offer.

If that's not enough, there will be even more bespoke content on our TikTok and Instagram accounts dedicated to women's football.
