Before the games kick off, let's get you the team news.
SWPL changespublished at 12:53 British Summer Time 11 August
Whether you're a newcomer to the SWPL or a seasoned pro, there are a few changes this season to be aware of.
Most importantly, the structure of the league is changing so after this year the current 12-team top flight and eight-team second tier will be no more.
That means three teams will be relegated from the SWPL 1 this season. There's no relegation play-off just three teams facing a straight drop at the bottom. Rough, I know.
So just one team from the second division will be promoted to the top flight for the start of the 2025/26 campaign.
If you wanna get the lowdown on what to keep an eye on this season, check out our handy preview here.

Yesterday, Celtic got their title defence under way with a 9-0 thrashing of Dundee United at Parkhead.
There's three games kicking off at 13:00 BST. Grant Scott's Hibs travel to Brian Graham's Partick Thistle; Spartans are up against Motherwell at Ainslie Park and Glasgow City head up to Montrose for their league opener.
