With the title at stake, Women’s Champions League spots up for grabs and the battle to avoid the relegation play-off spot finely poised, SWPL managing director Fiona McIntyre said: “The 2022/23 season has already proved to be one of the most compelling and competitive in the history of the SWPL.

“The split adds an exciting new dynamic and one which has been well received by all stakeholders in the women’s game.

“Today, we are delighted to confirm the schedule for the remainder the season. Every fixture over the next two months will contribute towards the race for the title or battle to avoid relegation and we can expect plenty of drama as we reach the conclusion of the inaugural season under this new format.

“We look forward to welcoming fans along to enjoy what we anticipate will be a fantastic finale with the title, European qualification, and avoiding relegation all being played for.”
