What is Women's Football Weekend? Promotion battles, relegation scrapes and returns to PL stadiums

This weekend represents another major milestone in the ongoing journey of women’s football in England, as Women’s Football Weekend makes its return with a thrilling list of fixtures.

An opportunity to celebrate the strides taken in the women’s game, the inaugural weekend first took place in November 2019 off the back of the Women’s World Cup in France.

Since then, the weekend has become a staple in the football season, often featuring dramatic promotion battles and relegation scraps with its proximity to the season’s end. With Premier League and Championship matches also put on hold during the international break, a number of women’s matches are also set to be held at the grounds of their corresponding men’s teams.
