The 2026 NWSL season is entering the home stretch. Who are the top players in key statistical categories at this point in the year?

Although the world was hit by the sad news of the death of Harald V, in whose honour Norway’s players will wear black armbands in their first competitive match, there has been mostly good news in the world of women’s football. The final round of Champions League qualifying has begun, Liga F has kicked off in Spain, Manchester United have a new signing, and much more.

Many players have left the Spanish Liga F to continue their careers abroad in recent years. Spanish coaches have followed a similar path, with several moving to the NWSL, the top tier of women’s football in the United States, where they have brought with them the technical approach traditionally associated with Spanish football.

Imagine the situation. You are 16 years old. Most of your football matches are still watched mainly by parents standing on the sidelines, you have never played professional football and you are still supposed to have several years of high school ahead of you.

Over the years, the NWSL has produced plenty of iconic moments, not only on the pitch. One of them came in 2023, when Patrick Mahomes joined the ownership group of Kansas City Current, becoming the first active NFL player to hold a stake in an NWSL club.

The NWSL has come a far way from how the league started out in 2013. Among those changes is the amount of investment that clubs and club owners have poured into their teams. Which clubs are leading the way in giving women’s football the investment and respect it deserves?

The English WSL kicks off on 4 September, and we are looking forward to this season more than ever. The transfer window may not be over yet, but there has already been no shortage of wild moves this summer. And it is not just Alexia Putellas joining London City Lionesses. Take a look at our selection of interesting transfers. We are curious to see how these players will fare at their new clubs.

Things are slowly getting underway. The Frauen-Bundesliga has already kicked off, with defending champions Bayern Munich starting their campaign with a dominant win. What else happened in the world of women’s football? It’s QB Weekly.

Difficulties with the sale of broadcasting rights just before the start of the Spanish Liga F are slowly becoming something of a national tradition in Spain. Once again, the streaming platform DAZN found itself in a dispute with the Spanish women’s top flight and sought to terminate the contract early. The fiasco and international embarrassment were only averted at the very last minute.
