The wait is over. As the Barclays Women's Super League and Barclays Women's Super League 2 fixtures drop on Thursday 30 July at 10am, WSL Football is marking the occasion with something brand new: the first ever Fixture Launch Show, exclusively on the WSL Football app.
It is the perfect way to make sense of a huge day for the women's game. Hosting the breakdown are two players who know exactly what it takes to get to the top: Jen Beattie and Laura Coombs, fresh from lifting the Barclays WSL title with Manchester City last season.
What to expect
Jen and Laura will work through the fixture list from top to bottom, covering all the big talking points as they land, including:
Opening day: the fixtures every fan will be circling first
Gameweek standouts: where the season could be won and lost early
Derby dates: the local and rivalry clashes fans won't want to miss
The newcomers: how the league's new arrivals season starts off
Predictions: first thoughts on how the title race, European spots and dark horses
The transfer window: who has strengthened smartest, and who comes out on top
Beattie and Coombs bring first-hand insight into what it actually takes to compete at the top of the BWSL, and the standards every side will be chasing this year.
More than just the show
The Fixture Launch Show is just one part of a bumper day of content on the app. Fans can follow along with a live blog running throughout Fixture Launch Day, covering every twist as the fixtures are revealed, alongside:
Prediction games, so fans can put their own fixture forecasts to the test
Ticketing links, to get seats sorted for the games fans want to see most
eCal links, so no fixture, kick-off time or rearrangement is ever missed
How to watch
The Fixture Launch Show, along with the full live blog experience, is available exclusively through the WSL Football app from 9am on Thursday 30 July. Fans can head to the app to watch, follow the live blog, get their predictions in, and get their season sorted before a ball is even kicked.
