WSL broadcast info
Dates: September 5 - 17 May
UK: Sky Sports, BBC
US: ESPN Select
Free: WSL YouTube
Watch anywhere: Get NordVPN's Black Friday deal
2025/2026 is the start of a new five-year rights package in the UK that will see more than 100 games shown live across Sky Sports and the BBC, while 13 new international broadcasters have expanded the league's global reach.
All the while, there's still free streaming via the WSL YouTube channel for every game, in many parts of the world.
Wondering how you can tune in where you are? FourFourTwo is here with all the details on how to watch the WSL in 2025/2026.
How to watch the WSL for free
All WSL games are available to watch totally for free, depending on your location.
This is because the Women's Super League itself broadcasts all games directly on its WSL YouTube channel. In the instances where the WSL has a TV deal with an external broadcaster, the game in question will not be available in that country, but will be elsewhere in the world.
If you're travelling and not in the country where you'd usually watch your WSL streams, you can still tune in by using a VPN more on that below.
Watch Women's Super League football from anywhere
What if you're away from home when the games are on, and find access to your usual streaming service geo-blocked? The solution is a VPN, a piece of software that sets your devices to appear to be in any country in the world.
Assuming it complies with your broadcasters T&Cs, you can use a VPN to unblock the streaming services you usually use, and you have the added benefit of enhanced internet security.
FourFourTwos colleagues TechRadar are experts in this field, and they reckon NordVPN is the best VPN provider out there.
Where to watch WSL in the UK
In the UK, WSL TV and streaming coverage is split between Sky Sports, the BBC, and the WSL YouTube channel.
Sky Sports
In an expanded package for the new season, Sky Sports will be showing 118 games, 78 of those exclusively. You can subscribe to Sky for �35 a month on a TV deal or stream more flexibly via Now TV for a similar cost.
BBC
Public broadcaster the BBC will broadcast 21 WSL matches, 14 exclusively across TV and streaming, and seven more streaming-only fixtures that are also on Sky. Coverage is free across terrestrial TV and the BBC iPlayer streaming service.
YouTube
Finally, the WSL YouTube channel, which is normally geo-blocked in the UK, will be opened up for a total of 34 games over the course of the season. This is free to watch.
Where to watch the Women's Super League in the USA
ESPN holds the rights to the Women's Super League for the 2025/2026 season.
