WSL Football have today confirmed that Ashton Gate Stadium will host the 2025-26 Subway Women’s League Cup Final.
The showpiece fixture at Bristol City’s near-27,000 capacity home will take place on Sunday 15 March at 2.15pm, and will be broadcast live on BBC One and Sky Sports.
Holly Murdoch, Chief Operating Officer for WSL Football, told wslfootball.com: “Bristol is a city rich in sporting heritage, and with its strong history of hosting major women’s sporting events, Ashton Gate feels like the perfect choice for this season’s final. “We look forward to working closely with the team there to deliver a memorable experience for our fans and the wider Bristol community.”
Lisa Knights, Bristol City Women Board Director, added: “The interest and profile of women’s football is growing each year, and it is an important part of our strategy to inspire young girls and women in Bristol and the South West. “We have seen the positive impact on participation in women’s football of Ashton Gate hosting the Lionesses, either playing or watching. Having the Subway Women’s League Cup Final on Mother’s Day is another great opportunity to showcase top-flight football in the South West.”
VAR and Goal Line Technology will be in use for the final, while supporters will have the option to drink alcohol in view of the pitch as part of the league’s ongoing Fan Choice pilot.
