The BBC will broadcast the first-ever live domestic women's league game on network free-to-air television as part of its extensive coverage of the 2021-22 Women's Super League season.
On Saturday, Everton v Manchester City at Goodison Park (kick-off 13:30 BST) will be shown on BBC One as part of 22 live WSL matches on the BBC this season.
The new campaign starts on Friday with live coverage of Manchester United against Reading on the BBC Sport website.
On Sunday, there is live coverage of the London derby between Arsenal and Chelsea on BBC Radio 5 Live and Brighton v West Ham on the BBC Sport website and app.
To round off the weekend, the Women's Football Show will then deliver all the highlights from the opening round on BBC One at 22:30.
After a busy summer working on Euro 2020 and the Olympics, Gabby Logan, Alex Scott and Kelly Somers are back to front the BBC's coverage.
They will be joined by Reshmin Chowdhury and Jeanette Kwakye across Match of the Day live and the Women's Football Show.
Pundits on the televised fixtures will include England's most-capped player, Fara Williams, who played for Everton, Liverpool, Arsenal and Reading and former Everton and England goalkeeper Rachel Brown-Finnis.
