The Women's game has seen several advancements made in recent years and more and more WSL sides have been relocated into either purpose-built stadiums or are now sharing grounds with the Men's team – something which has not been common even within the last 10 years. This is a major step forward for the Women's game.
This article will take you through every Women's Super League ground, including a map and a breakdown of each venue.

Now it is time to take a look at each stadium in a little more detail, looking at the various capacities each ground has. While the Emirates Stadium won't be the only home of Arsenal Women this term, it is the side's primary home, which makes it the largest Women's Super League ground in the division.
At the other end of the scale is Everton's Walton Hall Park, which, with a maximum capacity of 2,135, is the smallest stadium in the league.

Another big step forward in our journey…
Emirates Stadium will host 11 Arsenal Women matches in 2024/25 ❤️
— Arsenal Women (@ArsenalWFC) May 14, 2024
While it has not always been the case, there are now a handful of Women's Super League sides who share a home ground with their male counterparts.
Perhaps most notable is Arsenal, whose Women's side plays the vast majority of their home games at the Emirates Stadium, which aside from being the largest ground in the division, is one of the biggest venues in world football.
There are three more WSL teams that play the majority of home games at their club's main stadium, and they are:
- Aston Villa
- Brighton & Hove Albion
- Leicester City
In total, a third of the division share a home ground with the men's team on a regular basis – a massive improvement on years gone by – and it has helped to alter the landscape of women's football in England and provide a platform from which the sport can drastically improve from a commercial point of view.
As well as those four teams, most of the remaining eight WSL sides also play at their club's main ground on special occasions, such as high-demand fixtures like local derbies. Manchester City Women, for example, will play three of their Women's Super League home matches at the Etihad during the 2024/25 season.
WSL stadium developments

However, Brighton believe that for the Women's game to really push forward, WSL sides must be afforded the opportunity to play in their own purpose-built stadiums – and the Seagulls look as though they will be the first club in the country to achieve that feat after receiving approval from the council.
In November 2023, Brighton City Councillor, John Hewitt stated: “The intention is to build around 10,000 capacity which is a realistic number. The team get around 3-4,000 at Crawley, but there is the capacity for the club to grow in the coming years.
“It’s about the women’s game achieving parity with the men’s game. Women’s football is growing. Brighton hosted three games at the Euros last year and there were good attendances. We know there’s the scope for it.”
Before stating that “Hopefully, other cities and towns can follow suit in supporting their women’s teams.”
While work is yet to start on the project, it hopefully won't be long until the club decide on a location for the new stadium and construction can begin.
