The BBC has discontinued its weekly Women’s Football Show ahead of the new Women’s Super League season. The programme had previously provided a studio based round up of matches on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
Highlights from every Women’s Super League match will instead be made available through BBC iPlayer, YouTube and the BBC Sport website and app. The broadcaster is also reported to be planning a YouTube discussion programme about women’s football presented by Alex Scott.
The BBC said it remained fully committed to covering women’s football and would broadcast 25 live Women’s Super League matches alongside Women’s Champions League coverage. The broadcaster and Sky Sports are entering the second season of a five year domestic rights agreement running until 2030.
