BBC Acquires Broadcast Rights To Women's Super League One

The BBC "added to its women's sports coverage after acquiring the broadcast rights to the Women's Super League One, a one-off transitional football tournament ahead of the league's switch from a summer to winter calendar" for the '17-18 season, according to Tony Connelly of THE DRUM. The BBC will "provide coverage across TV, radio and online" when the competition kicks off later this month. A total of 20 games will be shown live on the BBC's digital platforms, while BBC2 will broadcast a highlights program called "The Women's Football Show." In addition to the BBC's coverage, "clubs will also be allowed to stream their games through their own digital platforms" (THE DRUM, 4/17).
