Women's Super League postpones opening weekend fixtures following the death of Queen Elizabeth II

The opening weekend of the 2022/23 Women's Super League campaign has been postponed following the death of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday.

The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral in Scotland on Thursday afternoon at the age of 96. The country has now entered a period of national mourning.

It was confirmed on Friday morning by the UK government that sporting events would not be under an 'obligation' to be cancelled this weekend, leaving each governing body to make their own decision. The Premier League and EFL have confirmed that all scheduled fixtures this weekend have been postponed as a mark of respect.
