Women's Super League News

United States goalkeeper Phallon Tullis-Joyce has extended her contract at Manchester United until 2028, the Women's Super League side announced.

Both Arsenal and Chelsea face an up-hill struggle to overturn their first leg deficits against Lyon and Barcelona respectively in the UEFA Women's Champions League.

Vivianne Miedema has hit back at calls for her to retire following multiple long-term injuries, instead saying women's football needs more physical and mental safety.

Chelsea took another step towards their sixth straight Women's Super League title with a resounding 4-0 home win over Crystal Palace on Wednesday that put them six points clear at the top of the table with three games left to play.

Arsenal defender Lotte Wubben-Moy has signed a new contract with the north London club.
