Cumulative Women's Super League attendance record broken with six games to go

The cumulative attendance for this season's Women’s Super League has broken the division’s record with six rounds of games still to play, the English Football Association has announced.

A crowd of 32,970 watching leaders and champions Chelsea beat Arsenal 3-1 at Stamford Bridge on Friday took the overall attendance figure for 2023-24 to 717,721.

That moved it past the figure for the whole of last term – 689,297 – which was the previous best mark.

The attendance record for an individual WSL game was broken this term in Arsenal matches at the Emirates Stadium against Liverpool in October (54,115) and then Chelsea in December (59,042).

The Gunners have since announced that just over 60,000 tickets were sold for each of their last two home league games, against Manchester United in February and Tottenham earlier this month.
