The Women’s Super League returns for a new season on 20 September – with champions Chelsea starting their title defence against Aston Villa.
Chelsea are aiming for a sixth successive WSL crown as they begin a new era under manager Sonia Bompastor.
Bompastor isn’t the only new face on the touchline – there are five managers making their WSL debut this season.
Manchester City pushed Chelsea all the way in the title race last season and are expected to do so again after strengthening their squad this summer.
As another season gets under way, there is plenty to look forward to.
What are the key dates?
The WSL season begins on Friday, 20 September with Chelsea hosting Aston Villa at Kingsmeadow – kick-off 19:00 BST – and it will be shown live on BBC Two, BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website.
Last season’s runners-up Manchester City face Brighton on Sunday, 29 September and their 12:30 BST kick-off at Joie Stadium will be broadcast live on BBC Two.
Tottenham‘s game against Liverpool and the highly anticipated meeting between Arsenal and Chelsea will also be shown live on BBC television in the opening weeks of the season.
We will also have live radio commentary on BBC Radio 5 Live, 5 Sports Extra and the BBC Sport website and app throughout the season.
The season will conclude on 11 May.
How can I follow games?
All WSL matches are available to watch in the UK on the BBC, Sky Sports or, for the first time this season, on YouTube.
We will also have live radio commentary on BBC Radio 5 Live, 5 Sports Extra and the BBC Sport website and app throughout the season.
You can watch highlights every week on the Women’s Football Show, broadcast on Sunday nights on BBC One.
The BBC will show one game from each round of matches, while Sky has rights to two games a week. Any games not on the BBC or Sky will be available to watch for free on YouTube.
The BBC Sport website and app will provide live text commentaries on all this season’s WSL matches.
BBC Radio 5 Live will also bring you the Women’s Football Weekly podcast, where Ben Haines and England women’s record goalscorer Ellen White will be joined by current WSL players to discuss all that is happening in the women’s game.
“The Women’s Super League is back and if last season is anything to go by fans are going to be on the edge of their seats right up until the last match,” Alex Kay-Jelski, the director of BBC Sport, said.
“It’s an exciting year for the sport as we head towards the Women’s Euros next summer, so if you want to follow the biggest players in the women’s game, the BBC is the place for you. I can’t wait.”
Who are the pundits on BBC?
After hanging up her boots at the end of last season, former Manchester City captain Steph Houghton is a new addition to the BBC’s punditry team.
Houghton will be joined by her ex-England team-mates Fara Williams, Ellen White and Anita Asante to analyse the performance of teams and players.
Alex Scott and Kelly Somers take on presenting duties, with Jo Currie as lead pitchside reporter.
The lead match commentators will be Robyn Cowen and Vicki Sparks, while Rachel Brown-Finnis and Gilly Flaherty will be the main co-commentators.
