Sky Sports will be the exclusive UK broadcaster of the women’s World Sevens Football tournament, taking place at Brentford’s Gtech Community Stadium from 28–30 May 2026.

The third edition of the seven-a-side competition marks the first time the tournament will be hosted in England, featuring eight Barclay’s Women’s Super League clubs competing across the three-day event. Confirmed teams include Aston Villa, Everton, London City Lionesses, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, and West Ham United, with two further clubs to be announced.

Sky Sports will broadcast all matches live with a presentation team on-site delivering full coverage of the tournament, which is also available on NOW. Fans can also follow all the news from World Sevens Football across SkySports.com, the app and social channels, including a dedicated WSL YouTube channel.

Sky Sports Director of Football, Gary Hughes, said: “We’re proud to be the unrivalled home of football in the UK and Ireland, with a long-standing commitment to investing in and growing women’s sport. 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, said: “Partnering with Sky Sports to bring the World Sevens Football London Edition to fans across the UK and Ireland is a major milestone for us. 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.”

The tournament follows a landmark WSL season on Sky Sports, the first under a five-year rights deal, broadcasting 90% of all matches each season, including coverage of every game on the final day on 16 May.
