The Women’s Super League has become one of the most exciting competitions in soccer. Home to clubs like Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United, and Manchester City, the WSL features many of the biggest stars in the women’s game. Whether you’re following a fierce London derby or keeping an eye on the title race, there’s rarely a dull weekend on the calendar.
U.S. fans have often had to piece together coverage across different platforms and hope their club made the broadcast schedule. That changes with the 2026-2027 season, as CBS Sports begins a new U.S. broadcast agreement that will make every WSL match available through the 2029-2030 season.
If you’ve been looking for the easiest way to follow England’s top flight, I’ll walk you through where to watch, which services offer the best value, and how to catch select matches for free.
What channels show the Women’s Super League?
The Women’s Super League has one of the simplest U.S. broadcast setups you’ll find in international soccer. Paramount+ streams all 183 matches of the newly expanded 14-team WSL, making it the only subscription you’ll need if your goal is complete coverage.
CBS Sports Network will televise one featured match each week, while select matches will stream free on the ad-supported CBS Sports Golazo Network. Golazo will also feature WSL analysis and highlights through “Attacking Third” and other studio programming.
Pro tip: U.S. fans can stream every WSL2 match free on the official Barclays WSL2 YouTube channel. It’s an easy way to follow England’s second tier, formerly known as the Women’s Championship.
Women’s Super League TV schedule
The 2026-2027 Women’s Super League season kicks off Friday, Sept. 4, and is scheduled to conclude during the May 21-23, 2027, weekend. League matches typically take place on weekends, though domestic cups, European competitions, and international breaks can produce midweek fixtures or reshape the calendar.
One thing I’ve learned from following the WSL is not to get too attached to kickoff times. U.K. broadcast selections can move matches around, while winter weather occasionally lets a frozen pitch knock a game off the schedule faster than Alyssa Thompson can burst into the box.
Check out the upcoming matchweek schedule in the table below, featuring U.S. kickoff times and channel listings. You can also visit the official WSL Football Fixtures webpage to see the complete calendar.

Best TV plans for watching the Women’s Super League
If you’re only interested in the Women’s Super League, I wouldn’t overcomplicate things. Paramount+ is the clear winner because it streams every match in one place. Instead of chasing different broadcasters each weekend, you can follow your club from the opening match to the final day of the season with a single subscription.
Best Overall: Paramount+
Paramount+ ($8.99–$13.99/mo.) is the only subscription you need to stream every WSL match this season. Both its Essential and Premium plans include the same WSL coverage, so the lower-cost Essential plan offers the best value for most supporters. I use Essential for soccer coverage, and it gives me the live-match access I need without paying for higher-tier features I likely wouldn’t use.
If I were building the ideal WSL setup, I’d start with Paramount+ and treat everything else as a bonus. The service also streams every UEFA Champions League match, while Premium carries select NWSL and WNBA games shown on CBS. Its collection of TV shows and movies gives you plenty to watch between matchdays, too.
Best Live TV Companion: Hulu + Live TV
Fans looking for a more comprehensive TV plan should consider Hulu + Live TV ($88.99–$99.99/mo.) as a companion to Paramount+. It carries CBS Sports Network for the weekly featured WSL match, plus crucial soccer channels like ESPN, FS1, and USA Network. That last one is especially valuable for Premier League fans.
Hulu + Live TV also covers several parts of the NWSL broadcast plan through CBS, CBS Sports Network, ESPN, and ESPN2. The service is expensive, but its price includes Disney+ and full ESPN Unlimited access, giving you considerably more sports and entertainment without adding two separate subscriptions. Just remember that you’ll still need Paramount+ to stream every WSL match.
How to watch the Women’s Super League for free
You can’t watch every Women’s Super League match for free because Paramount+ carries the full season. But you still have a couple of ways to catch the action without paying for an ongoing subscription.
The easiest option is CBS Sports Golazo Network, which streams select matches for free through the CBS Sports app, Pluto TV, and other supported platforms. If you want broader access, keep an eye out for Paramount+ free trials or limited-time promotions. Those can be a great way to sample the league before deciding whether a subscription is worth it.
