Title sponsor Barclays and the new company overseeing the top two tiers of English women’s football have agreed to the biggest deal in the history of the domestic women’s game.
The PA news agency understands the renewed investment, covering both the Women’s Super League and Championship, is in the region of £45million across three years starting from 2025.
This is the first season the WSL and Championship have moved out from under the FA umbrella, operating under a new, independent, club-owned company called Women’s Professional Leagues Limited (WPLL).
WPLL CEO Nikki Doucet said: “Barclays has been a leading light when it comes to supporting women’s football, and they become a founding partner for WPLL as we embark on a transformational journey to grow the game.
