WSL Football is set to launch its first-ever official fantasy football game ahead of the 2026/27 season, giving fans a brand-new way to engage with the Barclays Women’s Super League and Barclays Women’s Super League 2.
Launching in August, the fantasy platform is currently in its development phase – and supporters are being invited to play a key role in shaping how it works.
Built specifically around the women’s game, the new experience aims to deepen fan engagement by turning matchday viewing into an interactive, strategic experience.
A New Way to Experience the Barclays Women’s Super League
The official fantasy game will allow fans to select players from both the Barclays Women’s Super League and WSL 2, building their ultimate squad from across England’s top tiers of women’s football.
By combining both leagues into one platform, WSL Football is creating a more connected and immersive experience for supporters, helping fans discover emerging talent while following established stars.

Fans Asked – and Now They’re Helping Build It
The idea for a fantasy football platform came directly from fan feedback gathered during the development of the WSL Football App, where users repeatedly requested an official fantasy product for the women’s game.
Now, rather than simply launching the game, developers are opening the process up to supporters.
Fans will be able to contribute ideas and feedback that directly influence core elements of the game, including:
- Scoring systems
- Squad selection rules
- Transfer mechanics
- Overall user experience and design
This collaborative approach aims to ensure the final product reflects what fans actually want from a fantasy football platform.
Making Women’s Football More Interactive Than Ever
Fantasy football has long been a key part of men’s football culture, but this new launch marks a significant step in bringing the same level of engagement to the women’s game.
By allowing fans to build squads, track performances, and compete with others, WSL Football is hoping to turn passive viewing into an active, season-long experience.
From following every fixture to discovering breakout stars across both divisions, the platform is designed to make every match matter.
