BBC Sport is ditching The Women's Football Show on BBC One and going all-digital for WSL highlights, complete with a new Alex Scott-hosted YouTube chat show.
AIVIASPORT is dedicated to women's sport, providing comprehensive coverage of the world's biggest competitions. We follow the leading leagues, tours, and tournaments throughout the season with the latest news, fixtures, results, standings, rankings, transfers, and analysis.
Our football coverage includes competitions such as the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL), Women's Super League (WSL), Liga F, Frauen-Bundesliga, Première Ligue, Serie A Femminile, Toppserien, A-Liga, and Damallsvenskan. In tennis, we cover the WTA Tour and all four Grand Slam tournaments, while our golf coverage focuses on the LPGA Tour, the Ladies European Tour (LET), and the sport's major championships.
From domestic leagues to the biggest international events, VIASPORT brings together women's football, tennis, and golf in one dedicated destination.
The Women's Football Show is being axed from BBC One ahead of the new Women's Super League campaign. Rather than keeping its dedicated TV highlights programme, BBC Sport is pivoting to digital platforms - including a brand-new YouTube channel built specifically around women's football.
A fresh chat show fronted by Alex Scott is in the works. Think Gary Neville's Overlap, but for the women's game. England internationals are expected to feature regularly on the panel, which should give it some serious clout - and, one hopes, better banter.
A BBC spokesperson stressed the corporation remains "fully committed" to women's football and the WSL. Every match will have highlights available across iPlayer, YouTube, and the BBC Sport website and app, as The Guardian reports.
BBC and Sky Sports are entering year two of a five-year domestic rights deal running until 2030. The BBC will show 25 live WSL matches plus live UEFA Women's Champions League action - so it's not exactly walking away.
Despite official reassurances, some insiders are reportedly unhappy. The decision to pull the plug was attributed to BBC director of sport Alex Kay-Jelski, though others insist it was a collective call. Either way, scrapping a flagship TV show while claiming nothing's been lost is a tough sell.
