Sky Sports will be the exclusive U.K. broadcaster of the women’s World Sevens Football (W7F) tournament.
Now in its third season, the seven-a-side competition is being held in England for the first time, featuring eight Barclays Women’s Super League (WSL) clubs competing. Confirmed teams include Aston Villa Women, Everton Women, London City Lionesses, Manchester United Women, Tottenham Hotspur Women, and West Ham United, with two further clubs to be announced.
Gary Hughes, director of football at Sky Sports, said, “This partnership with World Sevens Football builds on the momentum of a record WSL season, which saw more live matches than ever before on Sky Sports. It delivers a fresh, fast-paced format that blends elite competition with entertainment and gives fans another exciting opportunity to watch the league’s biggest stars before the summer break.”
Sarah Cummins, World Sevens Football CEO, added, “From day one, our ambition has been to reimagine how women’s football is experienced, making it faster, closer, and more entertaining while showcasing the incredible depth of talent in the game. Having every match broadcast live on Sky and NOW ensures we can reach more fans than ever before and continue building a global platform for the sport and its players.”
