Everton Women face Crystal Palace in Women's Super League season opener

Summary

Everton Women travel to VBS Community Stadium to face Crystal Palace on Sunday, 6 September, in the 2026/27 Women's Super League opening round. Scott Phelan leads the Everton side following a busy transfer window that saw nine arrivals, including Hannah Silcock and Holly McNamara. The Blues aim to reverse a history of slow starts after a difficult 2025/26 campaign. Crystal Palace returns to the top flight under manager Jo Potter after securing promotion from WSL 2 last season. The Eagles have also recruited nine new players, featuring experienced additions Bethany England and Molly Bartrip, though they must manage without the injured My Cato. Following this weekend's opener, Everton returns to Goodison Park on 13 September to host Charlton Athletic.
