Barclays Women's Super League kicks off this weekend and it's never been bigger

29 September 2023

The Barclays Women's Super League  is back this weekend after an exceptional summer of women’s football, and it’s never been bigger. The Barclays WSL is now the most followed women's domestic league in the world, having gained over 2 million followers . Attendance at matches last season increased by an extraordinary 170% with a record number of games broadcast live on Sky and BBC TV channels.

This weekend six games will be played featuring all 12 BWSL clubs, including newly-promoted Bristol City. An astonishing 94 players  that competed in the Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand this summer will play during the 2023/24 season.

Barclays has sponsored the Barclays Women's Super League  since 2019 and has invested more than £30 million in women’s and girl’s football over the past four years.  The bank also sponsors the Barclays Women’s Championship  which kicked off in August.

The story so far…

In March 2019, we announced the largest ever commercial investment in women's sport in the UK. The Barclays FA Women’s Super League is now Europe’s first fully professional women’s football league, and our investment will help the future growth of the league and its clubs.
