Breaking down Chelsea Women’s 2023-2024 Women’s Super League schedule

The 2023-2024 season for Emma Hayes’ side is inching closer and closer. On Tuesday morning in the United Kingdom, Chelsea Women learned its fate in the Women’s Super League next season with eyes on a fifth consecutive title. In the schedule, the west London outfit will have three months of four matches while the five other months have just two. All the fixtures are subject to change.

With last season’s league trophy, the Blues have double the amount of WSL titles than any other team in the league. Despite the club’s dominance, the margin of victory at the top of the table has been two points or less in the past three campaigns.

The west Londoners’ hunt for their first English top-flight title without Swedish defender Magdalena Eriksson since the 2017 Spring Series begins on Sunday, October 1, 2023 against Tottenham at Stamford Bridge. In the beginning of the previous campaign, the Blues attempted to kick off league play in SW6, but the death of Queen Elizabeth II forced all fixtures across the UK to be postponed.

All eyes are going to be on Hayes’ team on the first match week given the club’s struggles in week one. The west London outfit has not taken all three points to open up its campaign since September 2019 when Bethany England netted the winner against Spurs. That being said, this will be the first time the club will host a contest to open the season since that one goal triumph against Tottenham in SW6.

Weeks two and three are against the same opposition as the 2022-2023 season, but instead of Gareth Taylor’s Manchester City visiting Kingsmeadow, the Blues will travel north to the Academy Stadium. City’s Academy Stadium was one of two venues the west Londoners lost at in a domestic competition during last season’s title defense. The Citizens venture to the country’s capital on February 18 before a hiatus in league action during the weekend of February 24th and 25th.
