The Barclays FA Women's Super League returns with big plans for the 2019-20 season already in place.

The campaign kicks off with an expanded 12-team roster, with Manchester United - founded in May 2018 - and Tottenham gaining promotion from the championship last term.

The FA WSL is aiming to build on the huge success of this summer's World Cup in France, with the England Lionesses repeatedly smashing records for BBC viewing figures as they reached the semi-finals.

With two of the opening fixtures to be staged at Premier League grounds - Man City vs Man Utd at the Etihad and Chelsea vs Tottenham at Stamford Bridge - this weekend, expectations are high that this could be a golden year in terms of growing the WSL brand and support base.

How to watch: TV channel and live stream online

The WSL will be broadcast overseas for the first time during the 2019-20 season.

A new three-year media rights deal has been struck with Sky Mexico and Scandinavian broadcaster NENT which will see the competition shown live to viewers in Mexico, Central America, the Dominican Republic, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark.

Monday also marked the launch of The FA Player - a new global streaming service - which will provide free access to over 150 games along with selected match highlights from the Women's FA Cup, Lionesses games and the FA Women's Continental League Cup, starting from September 7.

The six-figure revenue from the deals is set to be reinvested into further broadcasting of women's football, including the development of The FA Player.
