WSL: What to expect from match officials in 2025/26

Posted on 1st September 2025

Last week our Women’s Game Network held a webinar with Professional Game Match Officials (PGMO) as, ahead of the new season, supporters heard what to expect from officials.

They were joined by PGMO director of the women’s game, Rebecca Welch, who took fans through changes for the 2025/26 season and the guidance that will be given to clubs regarding refereeing.

This includes the new goalkeeper eight second rule, dropped ball restarts, penalty kick double touches and more.

Our thanks to PGMO and Rebecca for taking the time to explain these changes to our supporter groups.
