Panini has officially unveiled the Barclays Women’s Super League Official Sticker Collection 2026, created in partnership with WSL Football—and this year’s launch marks a major milestone for the women’s game. For the first time ever, the collection includes selected stickers from all 12 clubs in Barclays Women’s Super League 2 (BWSL2), giving fans a complete look across the top two tiers of professional women’s football.
The expanded album now spans 68 pages and features 511 stickers, including 66 from BWSL2, celebrating the rapid rise and increasing visibility of women’s domestic football in England.
A Historic Moment for the Women’s Game
The release aligns with what is expected to be one of the most competitive seasons in Barclays WSL2, with three promotion places on offer for 2025/26—two automatic and one play-off spot. This shift comes ahead of the league expanding from 12 to 14 teams, creating greater movement between divisions and making this the perfect moment to give BWSL2 its rightful place in the sticker album.
Following Panini’s recent success with the EFL sticker collection, which included all 72 clubs, adding the full women’s pyramid represents another big step in supporting the growth and visibility of the sport.
What Collectors Can Expect
Fans can hunt for Fresh Kicks, Pulse, Future Stars, and Fan Fave stickers across all 12 Barclays WSL teams, as well as Next Level players from both divisions. The album also includes a nine-page section fully dedicated to Barclays WSL2, plus QR codes offering deeper player insights.
Collectors can get started with the Panini Barclays WSL Starter Pack, which includes the album and five sticker packets.
Voices From the Game
Katie Gritt, Head of Marketing of Sport at Panini, said:
“We are so excited to bring the Barclays WSL Sticker Collection to women’s football fans for the third year running. To feature Barclays WSL2 clubs for the first time is a really proud moment… We know fans will love it.”
Chelsea forward Aggie Beever-Jones shared her enthusiasm:
“Panini sticker collections are iconic!… Including BWSL2 now takes it a step further. Having played in that league with Bristol City, I know how competitive it is. It’s brilliant to see Panini giving the league the recognition it deserves.”
Zarah Al-Kudcy, Chief Revenue Officer for WSL Football, added:
“As the only country with two fully professional women’s leagues, ensuring both the Barclays WSL and Barclays WSL2 were visible in the new collection was essential… We are excited for fans to get their hands on it.”
