The Barclays Women’s Super League returns for another exciting season, with the 2026/27 campaign getting underway in September.
Whether you’re following your favourite club every week or simply want to catch the biggest matches, there are plenty of ways to watch the WSL both in the UK and overseas.
Here’s everything you need to know.
Where can I watch the WSL in the UK?
Most live WSL matches will once again be shown across Sky Sports, with selected fixtures also available on the BBC. The official WSL website will continue to confirm where every match is being shown as TV selections are announced throughout the season.
| Broadcaster | Coverage |
|---|---|
| Sky Sports | Majority of live WSL matches |
| BBC | Selected live matches throughout the season |
| BBC iPlayer | Live streaming of BBC matches |
| NOW | Stream Sky Sports without a long-term contract |
If you’re unsure where a particular fixture is being shown, it’s worth checking the official WSL fixtures page closer to kick-off.
How many matches are shown live?
The current broadcast agreement means supporters can watch almost every WSL match live during the season.
Sky Sports remains the primary broadcaster, while the BBC continues to show selected fixtures across BBC One, BBC Two and BBC iPlayer. Some matches are also made available via the official WSL YouTube channel, depending on broadcast rights.
Watching the WSL outside the UK
Supporters outside the UK can also watch the WSL, although broadcasters vary from country to country.
The league has international broadcast partners across Europe, North America, Asia and Australia, with coverage differing depending on where you live. If no local broadcaster is available, selected matches may be available through the official WSL YouTube channel.
Before the season starts, it’s always worth checking the official WSL website for the latest list of international broadcasters.
Where can I find the latest TV selections?
Not every match is selected for television months in advance.
Instead, broadcast picks are announced throughout the season.
The easiest place to check is the official WSL fixtures page, which lists each fixture alongside its broadcaster once confirmed.
