About the League

Founded in 2011, the Women's Super League is the top tier of English women's football and widely regarded as one of the strongest domestic women's leagues in the world. Most clubs are backed by their men's Premier League counterparts — Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City among them — which brings significant investment and infrastructure. A five-year broadcast deal with Sky Sports, which began in 2025-26, means roughly 90% of matches are shown on Sky Sports or the BBC. From 2026-27 the league has expanded from 12 clubs to 14, with Birmingham City, Crystal Palace and Charlton Athletic coming in. The top two qualify for the UEFA Women's Champions League. The promotion and relegation system changes this season too: the bottom club is relegated automatically and the WSL 2 champions promoted automatically, with a play-off between the 13th-placed side and the WSL 2 runners-up.

Season Storylines

Manchester City won the 2025-26 title, their first in ten years, ending Chelsea's run of six straight championships. Andrée Jeglertz took it in his first season in charge, with league top scorer Khadija Shaw leading the line. The title was settled when Arsenal drew 1-1 with Brighton, a match in which Brighton's Fuka Tsunoda opened the scoring on 43 minutes. This is the league's first season with 14 clubs: Birmingham City (WSL 2 champions), Crystal Palace (runners-up) and Charlton Athletic (play-off winners) come in, while Leicester City lost the play-off and dropped down. City go for back-to-back titles; Chelsea and Arsenal have rebuilding to do. With several London clubs in the division, there are more derbies than ever.

Japanese Players

The WSL has more Japanese internationals than any other top women's league: more than 20 across 10 of the 14 clubs. Manchester City hold the largest contingent with Ayaka Yamashita, Yui Hasegawa, Aoba Fujino and Aemu Oyama. Brighton have three — Moeka Minami, Takako Seike and Fuka Tsunoda — and it was Tsunoda who scored in the match that settled the 2025-26 title race. Everton field four — Honoka Hayashi, Yuka Momiki, Rion Ishikawa and Hikaru Kitagawa — while 2023 World Cup Golden Boot winner Hinata Miyazawa is at Manchester United. Japan captain Saki Kumagai plays for London City Lionesses; Tottenham have Maika Hamano and Toko Koga, West Ham have Riko Ueki and Yu Endo, Aston Villa have Maya Hijikata and Liverpool have Fuka Nagano. Newly promoted Birmingham City also have Asato Miyagawa — following the Japanese players alone covers most of the division.
