The new Women's Super League (WSL) season will begin on the weekend of September 5/6.

On the day Chelsea were crowned WSL champions ahead of Manchester City and Arsenal, the Football Association has confirmed when football in the women's game will get back underway.

The decision for when the WSL will return was made at an FA Board meeting on Friday lunchtime, shortly after news broke that the 2019/20 season had been curtailed.

The FA are hoping to open the transfer window on June 19, closing on September 10.
