We’re pleased to release the fixtures for the upcoming 2023-24 Barclays Women’s Super League and Barclays Women’s Championship seasons, following a year of record attendances and audiences across the women’s professional game.
With an exciting summer of World Cup action ahead and Barclays WSL attendances up 170% last season, the stage is set to drive the popularity of the game forward yet again, with many clubs making bigger ‘main’ stadia scheduling pledges for the season ahead.
The BWSL campaign is due to kick-off on Sunday 1 October, as champions Chelsea open their campaign at Stamford Bridge against local rivals Tottenham Hotspur, while Arsenal take on Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium in round one and Aston Villa welcome Manchester United to Villa Park.
The Championship begins on Sunday 26 August, with newly-promoted Watford welcoming Durham in the opening weekend as last season’s runners-up Birmingham City make an early trip to Blackburn Rovers.
The ever-popular Women’s Football Weekend makes a return from 23-24 March 2024, with new and existing fans encouraged to celebrate the game by attending fixtures across the women’s pyramid during an international window in the men’s calendar.
The BWSL boasts more players than any other league across the world making an appearance at this year’s FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023, with almost 100 BWSL athletes representing their nations.
Offering an innovative experience to fans following their World Cup favourites, our new Women’s Leagues website easily links those looking for news, updates, fixtures and tickets to see their favourite players to the 24 domestic clubs across the top two women’s leagues in England.
