The Women’s Super League starts a new chapter this weekend. Since its launch in 2011 the league has been played during the summer months, now it embarks on its maiden winter season. The gap created by the switch was filled by the Spring Series, a one-off mini-league that helped give game time to players before the summer’s European Championship finals.
The WSL now has 20 teams competing across two leagues. BBC Online and BT Sport are broadcasting more games than ever before. Some of the best players in the world play in the English leagues. It’s an exciting time for women’s football.
