The 2020-21 season has been a banner campaign for the WSL as the league’s profile has risen significantly thanks in part to a title chase that ran until the last day of the season in May.
Now, a year after the WSL’s first season of matches on NBC Sports’ airwaves and digital platforms, two-time defending champions Chelsea will look to defend their title again and become the first club (in the era of the WSL) to win. -consecutive titles.

Manchester City pushed the Blues from start to finish, but eventually fell short by two points (57-55) after 22 games played. In the end, the difference between the teams was Chelsea’s emphatic head-to-head victory in game no. 4. They drew 2-2 in the second leg when only a win could have brought Manchester City closer, although they would still have trailed on goal difference.
If you remove the two head-to-head meetings from a season ago, Chelsea finish with a record 17V-2D-1D (53 points); Manchester City was 17W-3D-0L (54 points). Thin margins, as they say.
