The FA have revealed the broadcasters WSL selections for February, confirming that Arsenal's clash with Manchester City will be live on Sky Sports.
On Saturday 11 February, second-placed Arsenal will travel north to face City at the Academy Stadium, live on Sky Sports and NOW TV at 12.30pm. The game was set to take place on the opening day of the season but was rearranged following the death of the Queen.
Arsenal instead opened up their campaign with a 4-0 win over Brighton a week later. Man City subsequently endured a difficult start to the season, losing 4-3 at Aston Villa before a 2-0 defeat at Chelsea, but have since recovered with a seven-game unbeaten run to lie fourth in the table.
In a bumper weekend of WSL action, the following day Sky Sports and NOW TV will show Manchester United ’s match at Tottenham, hosted at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. United have already won once at a major North London venue this season, when they beat Arsenal 3-2 at the Emirates and will hope for a similar result when they travel to Tottenham.
The first match to be televised match of the month sees bottom-placed Leicester welcome title chasing Man City to the King Power on February 4. That one will also be broadcast live on Sky Sports at 11.30am.
Two matches will be broadcast the following day, starting with a London derby when Tottenham Hotspur welcome Chelsea to their new home at Breyer Group Stadium. The match will kick-off at 12.30pm on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer.
Later in the day, West Ham United will host Arsenal in East London for another derby at the Chigwell Construction Stadium, live on Sky Sports and NOW TV at 6.45pm.
Outside of these five games fans can still watch their teams, if they can't attend in person. This is because all remaining Barclays Women’s Super League matches will be streamed on The FA Player.
However the FA states that fans overseas should check their local listings for broadcast details. Countries without a broadcast deal will see all matches available on The FA Player.
Further down the pyramid, The Barclays Women’s Championship has also seen two games selected for live broadcast on The FA Player in February. Durham will host Sheffield United at Maiden Castle on Sunday 5 February at 12pm, while a week later Coventry United will welcome Blackburn Rovers at Butts Park Arena on Sunday 12 February at 2pm.
