The Barclays Women’s Super League (WSL) has announced new international broadcast partners for the 2025-26 season.

Details of which individual games will be shown by each broadcaster will be shared on the WSL website ahead of each match weekend. All games not selected for broadcast alongside territories without a broadcast partner will be available live on the aforementioned Barclays WSL YouTube channel.
In the UK meanwhile, for the first time, fans can watch every match from the top two tiers of women’s professional football in England live. 2025-26 marks the start of a new five-year broadcast partnership with Sky Sports and BBC Sport, with every WSL match available on either Sky Sports or the BBC.
Sky Sports is set to show up to 118 matches, with 78 fixtures shown exclusively across Sky and Sky Sports channels including all matches from the closing weekend of the season. The remaining 34 games will be shared non-exclusively between Sky Sports and the Barclays WSL YouTube channel – which will continue to stream selected matches each weekend with an uplifted four camera set-up – while an additional seven matches will be broadcast on both Sky Sports and BBC Sport.
The BBC meanwhile will show 21 matches, including 14 exclusive matches on BBC TV and seven shared on BBC iPlayer and BBC Digital Platforms.
