The WSL returns bigger than ever and with a mouthwatering title race

The Women's Super League kicks off on Friday with the competition expanded to 14 teams, welcoming three new sides for the 2025-26 season. Manchester City enter as defending champions but face a wide-open title race, while the summer also brought significant transfers and changes to the League Cup format. For the first time in six years, players and managers benefited from a full pre-season together, with no major international women's tournament taking place over the summer.
