Leicester City Women's next Barclays Women's Super League fixture has been selected for live television broadcast. The Foxes will travel to face Manchester City at the Joie Stadium on Saturday 14 February, with kick-off scheduled for 12pm and the match shown live on Sky Sports.
This broadcast confirmation was reported by WSLfootball.com this week. The match is part of the sixteenth round of fixtures in the 2025-26 season. All fixtures remain subject to change depending on the outcome of the Emirates FA Cup Fourth Round draw, which could affect scheduling.
What other games are being shown live?
The weekend's other main televised fixture sees Brighton & Hove Albion host Arsenal at Broadfield Stadium on Sunday 15 February. That game has a later 2.30pm kick-off and will be broadcast live on BBC iPlayer. Four other matches are scheduled for Sunday at midday: Manchester United versus London City Lionesses, Chelsea against Liverpool, Aston Villa taking on Tottenham Hotspur, and Everton facing West Ham United.
Fans of the second tier will also have plenty to watch. All Barclays Women's Championship fixtures across the same weekend will be available to stream live on the division's official YouTube channel. This provides consistent access to games outside the top flight.

How important is broadcast coverage for the WSL?
Regular live television slots are a cornerstone of the league's growth strategy. Sky Sports and the BBC provide the primary platforms for reaching a national audience. These selections help build narratives around key matches and increase the profile of all clubs involved, including Leicester City Women.
Having a match broadcast live also offers a major opportunity for the players to perform on a bigger stage. It boosts visibility for sponsors and can be a factor in attracting new supporters to the women's game. The confirmation of these picks allows fans to plan their viewing well in advance.
The team will now focus their preparations on the tactical battle ahead at the Joie Stadium on 14 February.
