#toppserien

Now this could be interesting.

Sixteen organizational bodies will represent the alliance that connects women's leagues from the United States, Sweden, Spain, Japan, Norway, Australia, Mexico, Scotland, Belgium, Costa Rica and Panama.

US (NWSL):

England (FA Cup, FAWSL, and FA Women’s Championship)

France (Division 1):

Germany (Frauen Bundesliga):

Italy (Serie A):

Netherlands (Women’s Eredivisie):

Norway (Toppserien):

Spain (Primera Iberdrola):

thank you so much! I'm so happy I was the reason why someone became a fan of hers🥰🥰

marie plays for vålerenga damer in the toppserien league (the norwegian league) last year it has become one of the strongest teams there, the team also came 2nd by the end of the season unable to beat lsk kvinner. this season so far they're no.1 :)

you can watch their games on nrk.no but I think you'll need vpn set to norway. here's a link to vålerenga's game against lsk kvinner on august 22nd, which you can actually still watch without vpn there.

you can also watch marie's debut for norway's senior team against the uswnt in 2015 at the algarve cup here. I hope all of this helps :)

update:

you can have a direktesport ID. it usually requires a norwegian number but you can email [email protected] telling them that you don't have a norwegian number and would like to make an ID and they'll make it for you and send you all the steps. you need to follow.

OK, so this is just my knowledge and going off what the last season was like - it may change, who knows.

Note - this is just the leagues I’m talking about - all leagues have a cup competition (England have 2) that run throughout the season as well, these games particularly the later stages are often shown on TV/streamed as well.

Toppserien (Norway): 23rd March - 16th November 2019 (currently mid-season break - returns 27th July)

I think some games are shown on NRK TV but a VPN is needed outside of Norway.

Damallsvenskan (Sweden): 13th April - 26th October 2019 (currently mid-season break - returns 20th July)

Damallskvenskan TV is a subscription service which shows all the matches, think you can watch wherever you are in the world.

Frauen-Bundesliga (Germany): 17th August 2019 - 17th May 2020

I think a couple of matches are shown each week on DFB.de - it’s geo-blocked but you can watch with a VPN. I believe some others are also shown on TV, so streams may be available.

Division 1 (France): August 2019 - May 2020

Some of the matches are shown on TV and you can usually find streams for them - I’m not sure much more than that tbh. 

If a D1 game is being shown on tv,  you'll find it on neuf.xyz (thanks @laureboulette!)

Serie A (Italy): 24th August 2019 - 24th May 2020

Last year Sky TV aired the match played on Sundays at 12.00pm - presumably streams would be available (thanks @the-untrodden-ways!)

FAWSL (England): 6th/7th Sept 2019 - 16th/17th May 2020

Generally, all the teams play at the weekend and 2-3 matches will be shown:

1 on BBC Redbutton/BBC Sport Online (should be able to watch w/VPN)

1 on FAWSL Facebook - not geo-blocked

1 on BT Sport (less regular - but you can generally find a stream).

Usually the matches that will be broadcast are announced a day or two beforehand on the FAWSL Twitter. Some teams had also started to show games on their own Facebook pages/apps/club TV etc towards the end of the season so hopefully that will continue. If I have the time when the season starts I’ll try to put a list out of who’s playing and where you can watch each week. 

Liga Iberdrola (Spain): 8th Sept 2019 - May 2020

All matches will be broadcast, believed to be on Gol TV (if that changes I’ll update).  (thanks @thacoolestk and @nupakachi11!)

They will also to be streamed on UEFA.tv - UEFA's new free-to-air digital platform.

Champions League: 11th/12th September 2019 - 24th May 2020

This is very much dependant on the teams involved - there are not always streams of the early stages but the best thing is probably to keep an eye out at the time.

The Chelsea quarter and semi finals were shown on the Chelsea app and the semi on the BBC. Obv Chelsea aren’t involved this year, but I’d hope that if Man City or Arsenal got to the later stages of CL the BBC would show the games.

Barcelona and Bayern Munich both streamed their quarter and semi-finals on YouTube.

Lyon and PSG’s quarter and semi finals were shown on French TV, but streams were reasonably easy to find.

The final is shown in a lot of countries/on a lot of TV stations so there are usually a lot of stream options.
