The Blues come into the new season as reigning champions having equalled our best-ever WSL points haul last season.

We claimed the title with a game to spare, pipping Arsenal to the post in a keenly fought title battle which went down to the wire.

But now it’s about looking at the tasks ahead of us in 2026/27.

The Gunners are sure to challenge again, as are a rejuvenated Chelsea side who’s six-year stranglehold on the WSL crown was relinquished by City last season.

Then there’s the ambitious London City Lionesses, who’ve made some eye-catching summer signings ahead of the new campaign.

Manchester United are sure to fancy their chances, as are the likes of Tottenham Hotspur and Brighton & Hove Albion, who both ended impressive campaign with a flourish.

Liverpool and their Merseyside rivals Everton have both strengthened heading into the new campaign and will be looking to improve on their 2025/26 showings, as will Aston Villa and West Ham United.
With the WSL expanding to 14 teams this season, we’ll also face three new challengers in 2026/27.

Birmingham City return to the top flight for the first time since 2022 as WSL 2 champions, with Crystal Palace also bouncing straight back up as runners-up.

Then there’s Charlton, set to embark on their first WSL campaign after a dramatic play-off win over Leicester City.
