This week in women's football: Liga F, NWSL, Women's FA Cup, and more

Things are starting to wind down in many of Europe's top leagues, where the title races in some have already been decided. However, over in the NWSL, things are just starting to pick up, while in England, history is set to be made in the Women's FA Cup final on Sunday, May 12th.

Here is all you need to know.

What to watch in women's football: May 10th to May 12th

Liga F

Fans in the USA will be able to live stream some great games from Liga F via DAZN USA over the next few days. The action starts on Friday, May 10th with a tie featuring Barcelona vs Athletic Bilbao at 2:30 pm EST. So far, the Blaugrana have yet to lose a single match this season and are the natural heavy favorites to pick up a win here, although fifth placed Athletic Bilbao have been in great form recently, with four wins from their last five games.

Then, on Saturday, eyes will turn towards a Madrid derby starring Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. Although there is a 13 point gap between Las Blancas, who will be hosting the tie, and Las Rojiblancas, who will be the visiting side, this game nonetheless will be absolutely crucial for both teams. Real Madrid presently sit in second place, and have won their last five on the trot, while Atletico Madrid are in third and have won all but one of their last five. DAZN USA will also be live streaming this game with a kick off time of 3 pm EST.

NWSL

Another round of NWSL games gets underway starting on Friday, May 10th with Racing Louisville vs Washington Spirit. The Spirit currently sit in third place, and could temporarily move to top spot in the table should they pick up a road win against Louisville. Then, on Saturday, Orlando Pride, who have now moved to top spot in the table thanks to a brilliant run of form, will aim to make it a sixth consecutive NWSL win when they host new side Bay FC.

And on Sunday, Kansas City Current, who have mostly occupied top spot but have slipped down to second after a draw from their last game, will aim to try to avoid a further slide down the table as they seek to heap more misery on a North Carolina Courage side who come into this game having lost their last two games.

Women's FA Cup

History will be made on Sunday, May 12th when the 54th iteration of the Women's FA Cup comes to a conclusion at Wembley Stadium. Manchester United and Tottenham will square off for the chance to become crowned FA Cup winners for the first time after beating Chelsea and Leicester City respectively in the semi-finals. Fans Stateside can live stream this match starting at 9:30 am EST via ESPN+.


What to watch in women's football: May 13th to May 16th

Frauen-Bundesliga

Matchday 21 in the 2023/24 Frauen-Bundesliga season finishes on Monday, May 13th as third-placed Eintracht Frankfurt welcome Freiburg. DAZN USA will live stream that game at 1:30 pm EST. At one point, Frankfurt were making a serious push in the battle for the league title, but hit a rough patch that saw them slide well behind league leaders Bayern Munich. Despite this, they sit in third place and have been in solid form as of late, with four wins from their last five games. By contrast, Freiburg are winless in their last five and come into this contest having four on the spin.

Serie A (Women)

With an eight point lead at the top of the table and already the Serie A champions after successfully defending their crown, Roma will look to finish the 2023/24 season strong as they travel to face Juventus on Monday, May 13th. The Giallorosse have been involved in some really exciting games lately, namely beating Sassuolo 6-5 in an 11-goal thriller and then edging out Inter Milan in a match that saw seven goals scored between the two sides (4-3). As such, fans will certainly be eager to see if their upcoming showdown with Juventus will produce another free-scoring side or will be a more subdued contest. 

Liga F

Just a few days after their weekend fixture, Barcelona return to action with more Liga F duties as the Blaugrana travel to face Eibar on Tuesday, May 14th. Options to follow this game include DAZN USA, who will be live streaming this tie at 12:00 pm EST. On paper, this looks like it will be another lopsided clash, but as has been seen time and time again in football, surprises and shock results are not totally out of the realm of possibility.

WSL

Finally, on Wednesday, May 15th, it's set to be a London Derby as Tottenham take on Chelsea. Viewers based in the United States can live stream that match via Paramount+, with the game getting underway at 2:15 pm EST. This will be a must-win game for Chelsea, who were given a lifeline in their hopes to retain the WSL title following Manchester City's 2-1 loss to Arsenal on Sunday, May 5th. Meanwhile, Tottenham come into this make-up game on a five match unbeaten streak in the WSL, albeit they have dropped points in their last three due to consecutive draws.
