Euro 2025 is in the books and England retained their crown in dramatic fashion.
Sarina Wiegman's side were the comeback queens in Switzerland this month, falling behind in all of their knockout matches, including the final against Spain, before triumphing on penalties.
Having conquered Europe with the Lionesses, the England squad will soon return to domestic action, with the majority of Wiegman's team playing in the Women's Super League.
When does the Women's Super League start?
The 2025/26 WSL season will be the 15th campaign in the competition's history, with Chelsea again starting the season as defending champions.
The Blues won their sixth consecutive and eighth overall title last year, in a campaign which saw them complete a domestic treble.
This means that Sonia Bompastor's side will again be the team to beat, but an Arsenal team packed with Lioness stars will be looking to build on their Champions League title last season in what promises to be a thrilling campaign.
And fans don't have too long to wait until the action gets underway, with the new season kicking off on the weekend of 5, 6, and 7 September.
That falls on a men's international break and contains an eye-catching slate of opening fixtures, including champions Chelsea up against Manchester City and Arsenal playing newly-promoted London City Lionesses.
There's also a Merseyside derby between Liverpool and Everton, while Brighton take on Aston Villa, Manchester United play Leicester City and another London derby when Spurs face West Ham United.
This season will also pave the way for the WSL to be expanded to 14 teams for the 2026/27 campaign, which means two teams will be promoted from the WSL2, while the side that finishes bottom of the WSL will play a promotion/relegation play-off against the third-placed finisher in the WSL2.
A new five-year television deal also kicks off this year, with every match of the 2025/26 season will be broadcast by either Sky Sports or the BBC.
