WSL brings back Sunday evening kick-offs after indifferent viewing figures
The Women’s Super League is bringing back Sunday evening matches for the 2026-27 season. This decision comes after disappointing television viewing numbers last year. The league stopped using the Sunday night slot last season, but they are now changing their TV plans to attract more fans. When the new fixtures are released on Thursday, TV stations will have six different time slots to choose from. Last year, most live matches were shown on Saturday and Sunday lunchtimes. This big change is part of a plan to help more people watch the games from home. Football bosses hope that spreading the matches across different times of the week will build a much bigger audience for the women’s game.
