Brighton Women aim to build on FA Cup final appearance in new WSL season

Brighton Women are preparing for the new Women's Super League season, aiming to improve on last season's 7th place finish after reaching their first FA Cup final. The club has seen new player arrivals and a significant sponsorship deal.

  • Brighton reached their first FA Cup final last season, ultimately losing to Manchester City.
  • The club finished 7th in the Women's Super League last season.
  • Pinterest has become the first solo sponsor of the women's team with a four-year partnership.

Brighton Women are gearing up for the 2026-27 Women's Super League season, looking to build on a historic campaign that saw them reach their first FA Cup final. Despite a defeat to Manchester City at Wembley, the experience has reportedly instilled belief within Dario Vidosic's squad.

The summer has brought relative stability to the south coast club, with seven new players joining and only four departures. Notable arrivals include Lia Wälti and Gabby George, bringing significant experience and defensive strength, alongside young attacking talents Emily Murphy and Nadia Krezyman.

Last season, Brighton's inconsistency was a key challenge, particularly a lack of a dedicated centre-forward following Michelle Agyemang's injury. Kiko Seike was the team's top scorer with eight league goals. The club will also host Arsenal in their season opener on 6 September at Crawley.

Off the pitch, Pinterest has partnered with the women's team as their first solo sponsor in a four-year deal. Plans are also progressing for Europe's first purpose-built women's football stadium, aiming for a 2030-31 opening next to the Amex Stadium.

Why this matters: The club's progress and new stadium plans could significantly impact the growth and visibility of women's football in the UK.

What this means for you: Fans can purchase an Amex 4-Match Pack for £45 for adults and join the 'Built For Her' women's football membership option.
