Manchester United Women vs Chelsea Women will be broadcast live in the UK on **Sky One, Sky Sports Mix and Sky Sports+**.

Chelsea have confirmed the final television details in their [official Manchester United vs Chelsea Women viewing guide](https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/article/manchester-united-vs-chelsea-women-how-to-watch-kick-off-time-live-stream?utm_source=chatgpt.com) ahead of Sunday’s lunchtime kick-off.

Supporters can also follow team news, live updates and match coverage through Chelsea’s Match Centre on the club website and official app.

## What time does Manchester United Women vs Chelsea Women kick off?

The match kicks off at **12 noon BST on Sunday 13 September**.

It will be played at the Progress With Unity Stadium, with Chelsea travelling north for their first away league fixture of the campaign.

Sunday’s game is Chelsea’s second WSL fixture after beginning the new season with a frustrating draw at Stamford Bridge.

## Chelsea looking for first WSL victory

Chelsea opened their domestic campaign with a **1-1 draw against Aston Villa** despite dominating almost every major attacking metric.

Lauren James gave Bompastor’s side an early lead before a late Veerle Buurman own goal allowed Villa to leave Stamford Bridge with a point.

ReadChelsea’s [Chelsea Women 1-1 Aston Villa match report](https://readchelsea.com/2026/09/05/chelsea-women-1-1-aston-villa-wsl-match-report/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) detailed a contest in which the Blues recorded 32 shots but failed to turn their dominance into a second goal.

Chelsea therefore head to Manchester looking to translate that attacking control into three points.

## Manchester United also looking for first win

Manchester United also enter Sunday’s match without a league victory this season.

United lost **2-1 away to London City Lionesses** on the opening weekend in their first league match under new head coach Eva Olid.

Chelsea have enjoyed an excellent recent record in this fixture.

Bompastor’s side have won five of their last six meetings with United, with the other ending in a draw. That run includes a **2-0 League Cup final victory** last season and a **1-0 league win** on the final day of the campaign.

The Blues will therefore travel north with plenty of reason for confidence.

## Chelsea face busy September schedule

Sunday begins another important run for Chelsea.

The Blues return to Stamford Bridge to face Birmingham City on 19 September before Arsenal visit eight days later.

European football also returns later in the month.

For now, the focus is Manchester United.

After dropping two points against Aston Villa, Chelsea have an opportunity to secure their first WSL victory of 2026/27.
