The 2025–26 Women’s Super League 2 fixtures were officially released on Friday and below, we take a look at some of the key fixtures for the new campaign.

Opening weekend fixtures for the 2025–26 Women’s Super League 2 season

The new Women’s Super League Two runs across the weekend of September 5th to 7th, with six fixtures taking place.

The action begins on Friday, September 5th, as Sheffield United host Sunderland at Bramall Lane with a 6pm kick-off time.

Sheffield United were relegated from the WSL2 last season, but had their place reinstated after Blackburn withdrew from the division.

On Saturday, September 6th, newly promoted Ipswich Town travel to the south coast to take on Southampton at St Mary’s Stadium.

The remaining fixtures take place on Sunday, September 7th, all kicking off at 2pm.

Those fixtures include Nottingham Forest’s first game in the second tier against Newcastle United.

The WSL2 fixtures were released on the same day that the 2025-26 WSL fixtures were released for England’s top tier.
