England and World Cup Qualifiers

Meanwhile, Arsenal’s Alessia Russo has signed a new long-term deal, and Sam Kerr returns for Chelsea as the WSL season kicks off. A standout transfer sees the London City Lionesses break the women’s football transfer record with a significant deal for Grace Geyoro. 

A New Commercial Horizon for the WSL

The Women’s Super League (WSL) is experiencing a breakthrough. Following the Lionesses’ triumph at Euro 2025, the league’s chief executive, Nikki Doucet, called it an “ignition moment” for women’s football. The WSL has secured renewed backing from Barclays and struck a £65 million broadcast deal with Sky Sports and the BBC—nearly three times more revenue than before Euro 2022. Projections estimate around £100 million in revenue for the 2025–26 season.
