WOMEN’S SUPER LEAGUE ON TV IN SEPTEMBER

Posted on by Leave a comment

THE Women’s Super League returns in September and has now expanded from 12 to 14 teams.

Sky Sports will again show the majority of the games (163 in total) although a selection of games will also be free-to-air on BBC One, Two and BBC iPlayer. Some games will also stream free on YouTube.

The controversial practice of multiple matches kicking off on Sundays at 12noon has been dropped after being unpopular with fans and leading to poor TV viewing figures. Matches will this season be spread over several time slots.

Sky’s live games will generally be shown on Fridays at 7pm, Saturdays at 12.45pm, Sundays at 12noon and 6pm. The BBC games will usually be in Saturday 12.30pm and Sunday 2.30pm time slots.

WHO’S SHOWING WOMEN’S FOOTBALL ON TV?

WOMEN’S SUPER LEAGUE

EVERY Women’s Super League game will be shown live on UK TV for the first time as part of a new five-year deal between the WSL, Sky and the BBC.

Sky will be the lead partner in the agreement showing up to 118 matches live – 78 of those fixtures will be shown exclusively on Sky including all matches from the closing weekend of the season.

Of the remaining matches, 34 will be shared non-exclusively between Sky and the WSL YouTube channel, and seven will broadcast on both Sky and the BBC.

Sky plan to make a new regular Sunday lunchtime slot of 12noon for most of their Women’s Super League games with matches showing at the same time across its main sports channels and Sky Sports+ service. For weekends when the men’s domestic game is depleted due to international fixtures, the WSL TV games will be staggered across multiple kick-off times to maximise exposure.

The BBC will broadcast live coverage of a total of 21 matches, including 14 on BBC TV and seven shared on BBC iPlayer and BBC digital platforms. The BBC’s games will generally be on Sunday afternoons, but with some on Saturday lunchtime.

The new deal also gives Sky the option to show matches from the Women’s Championship (which is being rebranded WSL2) and Women’s League Cup, including the Final. All WSL2 games will be live on YouTube.

WOMEN’S FA CUP

THE WOMEN’S FA Cup will see a major overhaul in TV coverage for the new season with the Football Association agreeing a three-year deal with TNT Sports and Channel 4.

TNT will show 19 games across the season including for the first time on UK TV one game from round one and one from round two.

Channel 4 will show one match per round from the third round. Channel 4’s six live games will also be on TNT Sports including the final which will be shown by both broadcasters.

WOMEN’S CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

IT’S ALL change for TV coverage of the UEFA Women’s Champions League in the new season with Disney+ agreeing a five-year deal to show EVERY game from the competition on its platform.

All 75 matches – including the final – will be streamed live by Disney who are taking over the rights from DAZN.

UEFA has already stated it plans for some of the games will also be screened on free-to-air TV as well as Disney. Although not confirmed it’s reported the BBC will take that role in the UK screening a selection of the games.

BBC & ITV AGREE WOMEN’S WORLD CUP TV DEAL

Posted on by Leave a comment

EVERY game from this summer’s Women’s World Cup will be screened FREE-TO-AIR on BBC and ITV after the two broadcasters sealed a deal with FIFA – with just weeks to spare from the tournament kicking off.

FIFA officials had claimed there could be a European TV blackout if broadcasters didn’t stump up better offers for the rights to the live matches.

Many of the games kick off outside of prime time viewing hours due to matches being staged in Australia and New Zealand so TV executives said they wouldn’t overpay for the rights.

But under a blanket deal brokered through the European Broadcasting Union (which also represents broadcasters in France, Germany, Italy and Spain) all 64 matches will be shown on either BBC or ITV with the final live on both BBC One and ITV 1.

The tournament starts on July 20 with England’s first game against Haiti on July 22 in Brisbane.

BBC and ITV will now meet to decide who shows which games across the tournament which ends on August 20.
