Sky Sports has secured an even bigger share of matches in the Women’s Super League as part of a record new long-term agreement billed as “the most significant broadcast partnership ever for women’s football”.

The deal from 2025 until 2030 will see Sky show up to 118 WSL matches, more than three times as many as under the current contracts. Of those 78 will be exclusive to Sky channels, including all matches from the decisive final weekend of the season.

The BBC’s package remains broadly the same as for recent seasons, with live coverage of 21 matches, including 14 exclusive to BBC TV and seven shared on digital platforms, but is now by far the smaller of the two broadcasters.
