The 2026-27 Women's Super League season will kick off with London City Lionesses hosting Manchester United on Friday, 4 September, at 19:00 BST. This match is set to mark the debut of two-time Ballon d'Or winner Alexia Putellas for London City.
Putellas is the most high-profile of eight new signings for Eder Maestre's London City side. They will face a Manchester United team aiming to recover after not qualifying for the Champions League last season.
Eight-time champions Chelsea will play Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, 5 September, at 12:30 BST, live on BBC One. Chelsea will play all home league matches at their main stadium this year, ending a nine-year period at Kingsmeadow.
Defending champions Manchester City will begin their campaign at home against promoted Birmingham City on the season's first Sunday. Tottenham will host West Ham United, while fellow promoted teams Charlton Athletic and Crystal Palace will play Liverpool and Everton respectively.
The BBC will broadcast 25 matches during the campaign, including the Players Cup final in March and numerous Women's Champions League games. The schedule for 2026-27 is more varied, with Friday evening games, Saturday lunchtime fixtures, and staggered Sunday afternoon matches, including the return of an evening fixture on certain weeks.
