Manchester City Women have officially been crowned champions of the 2025/26 Women’s Super League season, ending a decade-long wait for the title.
The triumph was confirmed after Arsenal Women played out a draw against Brighton & Hove Albion Women on Wednesday night, leaving City unreachable at the top of the table ahead of their final league fixture against West Ham United Women on May 16.
The title marks City’s first WSL crown since 2016 and brings an end to Chelsea Women’s dominance of the league after six consecutive title-winning seasons.
Head coach Andree Jeglertz achieved the remarkable feat in his debut season in charge after replacing Gareth Taylor.
The Swedish manager has transformed City into one of the most dominant sides in the league with a blend of tactical discipline, attacking football, and squad depth.
