Watch Women's Super League 2026/27 live streams as the division enters a new era.

Manchester City begin the season as defending champions after breaking Chelsea's six-year stranglehold on the title, thanks in no small part to the goals of Khadija 'Bunny' Shaw. The Jamaica captain scored 21 WSL goals to win the Golden Boot for the third successive campaign and was subsequently crowned PFA Women's Players' Player of the Year as City claimed their first league and Women's FA Cup double.

Chelsea will be determined to regain their title, but Sonia Bompastor's squad have lost some huge players over the summer, including Australia striker Sam Kerr and former England center-back Millie Bright, who has retired. It is a similar story at Arsenal, who waved goodbye to club legends Beth Mead and Katie McCabe, with England midfielder Georgia Stanway among those to arrive. Keep an eye out for the ambitious London City Lionesses, too, who have signed two-time Ballon d'Or winner Alexia Putellas and former England goalkeeper Mary Earps.

There are also two extra teams in the division this season following the league's expansion to 14 clubs. That meant three sides were promoted from WSL2 - Birmingham, Crystal Palace and Charlton, who beat Leicester in a play-off - with the Addicks back in the top tier for the first time since 2008.

With all that and more, there's plenty to get excited about – here's where to watch Women's Super League 2026/27 live streams online from anywhere.
