How to follow women's football with BBC Sport this season
With the new Women's Super League season about to begin, BBC Sport is strengthening its coverage.
As the 2026-27 Women's Super League season looms, BBC Sport is gearing up to be the go-to platform for women's football enthusiasts. Three new teams have joined an expanded WSL, and BBC has bolstered its coverage to deliver top-notch match action, analysis, and debate. To keep fans in the loop, BBC Sport will offer a plethora of content across various platforms.
Don't miss the BBC Women's Football channel on YouTube and the dedicated account on TikTok. The only place to watch free-to-air WSL football live on BBC TV and iPlayer, the season kicks off with Chelsea v Aston Villa on September 5th at 12:35 BST. With a new segment called "The Women's Football Fallout" following every live BBC game, fans can expect 15 minutes of post-match reaction and insights from ESPN legends Fara Williams and Steph Houghton.
BBC Sport's Women's Football YouTube channel will be a hub for original video formats, extended highlights of every WSL match, and exclusive clips, features, and interviews. The channel will also feature the debut of "The Debrief," a weekly show that delves into the relationships that shape the WSL with challenges thrown in for good measure.
On YouTube, fans can also catch up on BBC Women's Football Weekly, BBC Sounds' expert podcast now shifted to a Monday slot, and BBC Sport's senior women's football news reporter Emma Sanders will keep followers updated with everything from transfer dealings to player interviews and analysis. For the first time, WSL supporters can follow their clubs through dedicated pages on the website and app, providing a one-stop shop for BBC content.
Moreover, there will be even more tailor-made content on TikTok and Instagram dedicated solely to women's football. To foster a sense of community beyond the matches, BBC Sport will launch a new fan chat page on their platform. Fans can watch live matches, catch up on highlights, listen to commentary, download the latest podcast, and enjoy exclusive digital content, making BBC Sport the ultimate destination for women's football throughout the 2026-27 season.
