Summer 2023 was huge for women’s soccer. England won the Euro 2022 tournament but lost closely to Spain in the World Cup final. Many of England’s players are in the Women’s Super League (WSL) – England’s top women’s league.
The WSL went fully professional in 2018 and keeps getting more popular. Now, it has major TV deals in the UK and US.
You can watch every WSL match live, even outside those countries. Women’s soccer is bigger than ever after an exciting 2023! The WSL has top players and is easy to watch online from anywhere.

In the US, you can watch WSL matches on:
- CBS Sports (Paramount+) – Shows 1-2 matches per week. You need a Paramount+ subscription, which starts at $5.99/month.
- A few matches also air on the CBS Sports Network cable channel. It can be accessed through providers like Fubo and DirecTV Stream.
- The FA Player is a free streaming service showing live matches. Just sign up on their website or app.
So Paramount+ and CBS Sports Network show a couple of matches per week. The FA Player streams the rest for free. You can watch every WSL match live from the US between the two options.
How to watch the Women’s Super League in the UK

How to watch the Women’s League outside the UK and US
Before you try watching the Women’s Super League from outside the UK or US, check who has the broadcasting rights where you are. For example, it’s DAZN in many European countries, Optus Sport in Australia, and Sky Sport in Germany.
But if you’re traveling abroad temporarily, accessing your existing UK or US subscription using a VPN makes sense. That way, you can keep watching the WSL like normal!
I’m using NordVPN for this guide, but there are many good VPN options out there. The VPN will make it look like you’re still in the UK or US so you can stream the matches from anywhere!
A pretty handy trick for any WSL fans on the move. Just don’t forget to check the local broadcast rights holder first in case they have exclusive coverage where you are. But with a good VPN, you can watch all the action worldwide!
