Price of Football 2017: Women's Super League remains cheapest in Britain

The Women's Super League switched to a new calendar for the 2017-18 season

The Women's Super League saw the highest increases in prices across all ticket categories, but remains the cheapest league to watch live football in Britain in 2017-18.

The BBC's Price of Football 2017 study found both tiers saw a 23% rise in the average cost of the cheapest season ticket - but all season ticket prices still range from £25 to £70.

Matchday tickets range from as little as £4 up to £10 for both the Women's Super League 1 and 2.

The average price for the cheapest season ticket in the top tier is £42.90, up from £34.78. The most expensive season ticket costs, on average, £44.90 compared to last year's £44.44.

In WSL2, the average cheapest season ticket is £39, up from £31.60.

The lowest matchday ticket prices on the gate in WSL1 are up from £5.67 to £6.60, while in the second tier there has been a 22% rise, from £4.80 to £5.90.

Fans will pay 22% less for their cup of tea in WSL2, though, which is now on average £1.10 down from £1.42.
