How to watch Arsenal in the WSL in 2026/27: TV channels, live streams and broadcast rules

The Women's Super League is back, so could this finally be Arsenal's year again? The Gunners are the record 15-times champions of England, but have not hoisted the trophy aloft since 2019. Last season, it was Manchester City who ended Chelsea's stranglehold of six in a row, meaning we might perhaps be in for a more open title race than in recent seasons.

The transfer window closed on Thursday, with Élisa De Almeida completing a move from Paris Saint-Germain at the 11th hour. Renée Slegers has also added seven other players to her ranks, most notably midfielder Georgia Stanway and right-back Ona Batlle.

With optimism sky-high ahead of the new season, check out our guide of how to watch the Arsenal Women throughout the campaign.

How to watch Arsenal's WSL matches

In the UK, 118 WSL matches this season will be broadcast by Sky Sports across their various channels. A further 21 matches will be shown free-to-air by the BBC. Given Arsenal's stature and popularity, expect the vast majority of their fixtures to be shown by Sky or the BBC. All matches that are not selected by mainstream broadcasters are available on the WSL's YouTube channel, so you will not miss a minute of the action.

In the United States, CBS Sports have landed the exclusive rights for the next four seasons. They will show 183 WSL games per-season, with one game per week on the main CBS Sports Network, while the rest can be found on Paramount+.

How to watch Arsenal's Women's Champions League matches

The UEFA Women's Champions League league phase draw took place on Friday afternoon. Arsenal learnt that they will host OL Lyonnes, Benfica and HB Køge, while travelling to take on holders Barça Femení, Paris FC and Internazionale Milano on the European road. Some very tasty fixtures in there.

In the UK, Disney+ will broadcast every Champions League fixture. On top of that, the BBC will also showcase seven matches per season free-to-air. Expect a fair few of these selected fixtures to involve Arsenal.

In the United States, CBS Sports and Paramount+ is once again your place to go for all UWCL matches, including those featuring Arsenal Women, with ESPN Deportes also broadcasting fixtures in Spanish.

How to watch Arsenal Women's FA Cup matches

The other competition in which Arsenal will feature is the Women's FA Cup. The Gunners are, once again, record 14-times FA Cup winners, but have not got their hands on the trophy since 2016, featuring in only two finals since then, both times defeated by Chelsea. All top-flight clubs will enter this year's competition, as always, in the fourth round in mid-January.

In the UK, TNT Sports are the primary broadcaster, showing live coverage of 19 Women's FA Cup ties. Channel 4 also showcase seven games per season free-to-air, including the final at Wembley. In this tournament too, it is always highly likely that all Arsenal matches will be chosen for TV.

In the United States, handily enough, and we feel like we're repeating ourselves, but CBS Sports and Paramount+ have the rights, meaning US-based Gooners only need one subscription, which is useful.
