Manchester City clinched the Women’s Super League title after a 52‑point haul that eclipsed Chelsea’s six‑year reign. The victory, confirmed when Arsenal drew 1‑1 at Brighton, left City six points clear with a game to spare. Manager Andree Jeglertz, in his first season, credited early belief and squad quality today.

Jeglertz, who took the helm after leading Denmark at Euro 2025, said he sensed ambition from day one. “I knew the club wanted to win,” he noted, citing the depth of talent and the hunger that pushed the team to dominate from November. Only two players had previous titles this.

City have been top since 9 November and secured the championship with a game to spare, a first since 2016. Midfielder Laura Coombs and striker Vivianne Miedema are the only players to win the WSL with former clubs, underscoring the squad’s experience for their season.

With the title locked, City turns to the FA Cup semi against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Jeglertz praised the squad’s professionalism, noting they deserve a night off before the clash. Focus will shift to the 12‑hour final, where City aim to cement their dominance for 2026 and their record season today.
