Match highlights will also to be featured on The Women’s Football Show on BBC One at 11:30pm.

“Over the last few years Yokohama has enjoyed a significant increase in brand awareness thanks to our partnership with Chelsea FC. The shirt sponsorship extends across all of Chelsea FC teams including Chelsea Ladies, which gives us a great depth of coverage. Women’s football in particular is enjoying a period of considerable interest, as shown by the BBC broadcasting both live games and highlights. We’re looking forward to supporting Chelsea Ladies in their campaign this season,” comments David Seward, managing director, Yokohama HPT.
