England win Euro 2022: BBC reveals WSL live games

Euro 2022 highlights: England 2-1 Germany

The Lionesses won the hearts of a nation with their victory at Euro 2022, beating Germany in the final.

It has created a new wave of interest in women's football, with some coming to the sport for the first time ever.

Luckily, whether new to the women's game or not, fans don't have long to wait for their next fix. The Women's Super League starts in a few weeks - with 22 games live on the BBC.

How can I watch games?

All WSL games are available to watch on the BBC, Sky Sports or the Football Association's website.

The BBC will broadcast one game from each round of matches - 22 in total. Many will be on BBC One or Two - and all those will be on the iPlayer. Sky have rights to two games a week.

Any games not on TV will be available to watch for free on the FA Player.

If you want to attend games, ticket prices are much more affordable than in the Premier League - and there will be more WSL games played at big stadiums this season too.

Only Leicester and Reading routinely play at the same venue as their men's teams - but several teams are planning to move some big fixtures this season.

Chelsea and Spurs both play at their men's teams' grounds on the opening weekend. During the season there will also be a Merseyside derby at Anfield and a Manchester derby at Etihad Stadium - and Arsenal plan to play three WSL games at Emirates Stadium.

In terms of geographical spread, the southernmost WSL team are Brighton, with the Manchester and Merseyside clubs the ones furthest north.

The second-tier Championship has Sunderland and Durham in the North East and Bristol City in the West.

When is the Women's Champions League?

Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea are all in this season's Champions League.

City enter at the first qualifying stage, which is taking place in Madrid. They face Tomiris-Turan of Kazakhstan on 18 August and, if they win, a second match three days later. Win that, and they are into round two of qualifying.

The two-legged second round, at which stage Arsenal enter the competition, takes place in September on a more typical home-and-away basis.

Chelsea have qualified automatically for the group stage, which begins in October.

Glasgow City, Rangers, Swansea and Glentoran are also in the early rounds.

When do England play next?

Because the European Championship was delayed a year by the coronavirus pandemic, new Lionesses fans will only have to wait a year for the next major tournament - the World Cup, which takes place in Australia and New Zealand in July and August 2023.

England can make sure of their place in that competition in their next qualifying game, away to Austria on 3 September.

Their next home game is against Luxembourg at Stoke's Bet365 Stadium on Tuesday, 6 September (19:30 BST).

Should they win either of those games to confirm qualification, England will face world champions USA at Wembley Stadium on Friday, 7 October.
