Sky and Women’s Super League signs new broadcast deal

Sky has announced a new five-year partnership with the Women’s Professional League, securing the rights to show nearly 90% of all Women’s Super League matches from the 2025/26 season.

The broadcaster will show 118 matches from the WSL every season, up more than three times the number of games currently, with 78 fixtures shown exclusively.

With over 75% of first picks plus all matches from the closing weekend exclusive to Sky.

This is an incredibly exciting and significant moment for women’s sport,” said Dana Strong, Group CEO, Sky.

“The longer-term partnership reflects our commitment to women’s football and provides the platform for us to keep working with the WPLL to bring in more fans, grow the game and create the most entertaining and competitive women’s football league in the world.

“As the home of sport, Sky is already by far the biggest investor in women’s sport in the UK and Ireland, and this new partnership further demonstrates our backing of elite female athletes. We look forward to telling their stories and inspiring the next generation of fans.”

The new deal also gives Sky the option to show matches from the Women’s Championship and Women’s League Cup, including the Final, bringing both competitions onto Sky for the first time.
