The Women’s Super League fixture list is finally here, and the new season suddenly feels very real.

In this week’s episode of Arsenal Women: Trailblazers, I look through Arsenal’s 2026/27 fixture list, discuss where the biggest tests and opportunities lie, and explain why I’m feeling optimistic about the campaign ahead.

I also say goodbye to Laila Harbert following her move to San Diego Wave, reflect on Chloe Kelly’s honest comments after what she describes as a difficult year, and finish by answering your questions from the Trailblazers community.

This week’s mailbag includes:

• Who should make up Arsenal’s first-choice midfield?
• Could Arsenal’s growing Spanish influence shape the way they play?
• How important is a strong start to the season?
• What should we make of the opening fixtures?
• And how does Manchester United’s squad compare with Arsenal’s heading into the new campaign?
• 
  

As always, we’re less interested in simply telling you what’s happened and much more interested in understanding why it matters.
