The FA Women’s Super League returns this weekend bigger and better as 12 clubs fight it out across the nine-month campaign. The expanded top-flight welcomes the arrival of Tottenham and Manchester United, but will they be competing for glory in their debut seasons come May. Both sides certainly face a strong side on the opening weekend in two of the three mouth-watering derbies in store to kick off the season.

Manchester City bragging rights are at stake at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, while Tottenham travel to Stamford Bridge on Sunday to face Chelsea. It’s the first time that Women’s Super League matches will be staged at Premier League grounds, an evidence of the game’s growing popularity and the commitment of the FA and clubs.

The third derby of the weekend sees reigning champions Arsenal host West Ham at Meadow Park. Last season’s fourth-place finishers Birmingham City host Everton, Brighton are at Bristol City, while Liverpool face Reading.

The audience of the Women’s Super League is expected to reach even greater levels this season, with matches being broadcast overseas for the first time. The FA have struck a three-year deal with Sky Mexico and Scandinavian broadcaster NENT which will see the competition shown live in Mexico, Central America, the Dominican Republic, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark.

The six-figure revenues will be reinvested into further broadcasting of women’s football, largely through the development of the FA’s own global streaming service which will provide free-to-air streams for more than 150 matches.
