First out is the top match Manchester United–Arsenal on Sunday afternoon.

It is teeming with Swedish national team stars in Super League (WSL) – the women's equivalent to the men's Premier League. The league also features several of the world football's big names.

SVT plans to broadcast the entire season.

This is a perfect piece of the puzzle in our football effort. We show the World Championship 2027 and all the women's national team's international matches and qualifying matches for several years to come, now we can also show many of the national team stars' everyday life in perhaps the world's best league, says SVT's sports manager Max Bursell on SVT's website.

Chelsea – with the Swedes Johanna Rytting Kaneryd and Nathalie Björn – are the reigning champions.

In my opinion, WSL is the world's best league, there is no other league that is as even and has so many good teams. Arsenal, for example, came second in the league last time but won the Champions League. And of course, the interest in Sweden will be great when so many of the Swedish national team players are in England, says expert Hanna Marklund to SVT's website.
