The 2024–25 Women's Super League season (also known as the Barclays Women's Super League for sponsorship reasons) was the 14th season of the Women's Super League (WSL) since it was formed in 2010.[1] It was the sixth season after the rebranding of the four highest levels in English women's football.

Chelsea were the defending champions, having won their fifth consecutive and seventh overall title in the previous season.

After Arsenal's 2–5 defeat to Aston Villa and Chelsea's 1–0 victory over Manchester United, Chelsea were confirmed to have won their sixth consecutive and eighth overall title. At the end of the season, Chelsea also became the first team to finish a 22-game WSL season unbeaten.[2]

Crystal Palace, who in the previous season had been promoted to the WSL for the first time in their history, were relegated back to the Women's Championship after just one season in the top flight on 27 April 2025, after a 1–7 defeat at home to West Ham United.

Ahead of the season, the WSL announced a change to the way games were broadcast domestically in the UK. The FA Player streaming service was replaced by the league's YouTube channel for the live broadcast of all 66 league matches not televised by BBC or Sky Sports.[3] The transition followed the creation and subsequent takeover of the running of the league by the Women's Professional Leagues Limited (initially called 'NewCo' on a temporary basis), an independent, club-owned entity, which replaced The Football Association after recommendations from a government-backed review into the women's game in 2023.[4]

Twelve teams contested the 2024–25 Women's Super League season. Crystal Palace secured promotion as 2023–24 Women's Championship champions on 28 April 2024, marking their first appearance in the WSL.[5] They replaced Bristol City, who were relegated one season after their return to the WSL since being promoted from the Women's Championship the season prior.[6]

Stadium changes

[edit]

Having spent the previous six seasons at Prenton Park, Liverpool relocated to Totally Wicked Stadium, home of St Helens R.F.C., ahead of the 2024–25 season.[7] Arsenal announced Emirates Stadium would become the team's primary ground ahead of the 2024–25 season, hosting eight of the team's home league games. Meadow Park, the ground the team has groundshared since the 1990s, will retain the three remaining fixtures.[8] After four seasons at Walsall's Bescot Stadium following promotion in 2020, Aston Villa announced Villa Park would become the team's home stadium for league matches ahead of the 2024–25 season.[9]
