Available via desktop browsers and via a dedicated Android and iOS app, the service will show over 150 domestic games live including all WSL matches.

Elsewhere, matches on BT Sport‘s subscription service will be spread over its two main channels over the course of the season, while coverage will also be available via the BT Sport app or BTSport.com for mobile or PC streaming.
