Chelsea Chases History as 2024/25 WSL Season Ends


The 2024/25 Women’s Super League (WSL) season officially wraps on Saturday, with Chelsea preparing to claim even more history on the heels of their sixth-straight league title.

The still-undefeated Blues will face sixth-place Liverpool in their final outing, with Chelsea on the cusp of becoming the fourth-ever team to finish a WSL season unbeaten.

Should they do so, Chelsea will join 2012’s Arsenal, 2016’s Manchester City, and their own 2018 squad in achieving perfection — those this year’s Blues would be the first to accomplish the feat in the expanded 22-match campaign.

While the team only needs a draw to remain undefeated, a win would secure Chelsea another record, becoming the first club to tally 60 points in a single campaign — two more than the current mark the Blues claimed in 2022/23.

Despite their astounding WSL record, the Blues have fought hard for their dominance this season, with first-year head coach Sonia Bompastor strategically using her entire roster to maintain the winning legacy left by now-USWNT boss Emma Hayes.

“Don’t think it’s easy. It’s never easy,” said Bompastor after Chelsea’s 2024/25 title win. “It’s a great achievement and a lot of work every day — I don’t let my players breathe.”

Battle for second-place continues on final WSL matchday

While Chelsea chases records, other top WSL clubs are still jockeying for positions on the league’s final 2024/25 table.

Along with the Blues, Arsenal and Manchester United are locked into Champions League qualifying positions for next season — but United could leapfrog Arsenal for a second-place WSL finish on Saturday.

Separated by just one point, the Red Devils and the Gunners will face off against each other in the season’s final blockbuster matchup.

Arsenal has extra incentive for a good showing, as the Gunners try to snap their two-game WSL losing streak and gain momentum before battling Barcelona in the May 24th Champions League final.

Chelsea also has a shot at another trophy looming, with the Blues chasing a second domestic treble — winning the league, FA Cup, and League Cup.

However, a tough Manchester United stands in the way of Chelsea’s third and final treble title, with the pair facing off in the FA Cup’s May 18th championship match.

How to watch WSL matches this weekend

All 12 WSL teams will kick off their season’s last matches at 7:30 AM ET on Saturday.

Both Chelsea’s game against Liverpool and Manchester United’s visit to Arsenal will stream live on ESPN+.
