We begin our 2025/26 Women’s Super League campaign at Emirates Stadium against newly-promoted London City Lionesses on Saturday, August 6.
The south London side won the Championship title last season, earning promotion to the WSL for the first time in their brief history.
Here’s everything you need to know about the first-time WSL side ahead of our clash this weekend.
THE HISTORY
After splitting with Millwall Lionesses in 2019, London City Lionesses were founded as an independent women’s football club just six years ago. They competed in the WSL Championship for the first six seasons of their existence, finishing in the top half in five of those seasons.
