2025/26 WSL summer round-up and opponent guide

After the joy of Euro 2025 continues to sweep the nation, thoughts are beginning to turn to the start of the 2025/26 Women's Super League season.

We’ll be looking to capitalise on last season’s UEFA Women’s Champions League-winning campaign as we try to get our hands on the silverware for the first time in 2019, but what about those teams standing in our way?

Here’s all you need to know about our upcoming opponents, and how their summer transfer dealings have gone so far:

ASTON VILLA

Last season: 6th
Top scorer: Rachel Daly (8)
Best finish: 5th (2022/23)
Head coach: Natalia Arroyo
Stadium: Villa Park

Villa have been in the top-flight since 2020, when they won promotion from the Championship.
