Arsenal wfc standings today

Arsenal Women occupy 3rd place in the Women’s Super League with 38 points from 17 matches, according to the Official Barclays WSL standings. Their record shows 11 wins, 5 draws, and 1 loss, with 38 goals scored and 12 conceded for a goal difference of +26.

Women’s Super League Table

Manchester City leads the WSL with 49 points from 19 matches, followed by Chelsea in 2nd place with 40 points from 19 matches. Arsenal sits 3rd with a game in hand on both rivals, having played 17 matches so far.

Team Position Points Matches
Manchester City Women 1st 49 19
Chelsea Women 2nd 40 19
Arsenal Women 3rd 38 17
Manchester United Women 4th 38 19
Tottenham Hotspur Women 5th 29 19

The race for Champions League qualification slots remains tight. Arsenal and Manchester United are level on 38 points, though Arsenal holds the advantage with two fewer matches played.

Recent Form Impact

On 10 June 2025, Arsenal announced that Emirates Stadium will host all 11 WSL home games for the first time. The move paid immediate dividends when Arsenal Women’s record WSL attendance reached 56,537 during the 8 February 2026 match against Chelsea, per Wikipedia.

What this means

With a game in hand on both Manchester City and Chelsea, Arsenal remains in mathematical contention for 2nd place if results go their way in the remaining fixtures.

Arsenal wfc standings champions league

In the UEFA Women’s Champions League, Arsenal Women finished 5th in the league phase with 12 points from 6 matches, according to Sky Sports. Their record shows 4 wins, 0 draws, and 2 losses, with 11 goals scored and 6 conceded for a goal difference of +5.

UEFA Women’s Champions League Group

Barcelona Women leads the Champions League standings with 16 points from 6 matches, sharing the top spot with Olympique Lyon Women, who also accumulated 16 points, per Sky Sports.

Team Position Points Matches
Barcelona Women 1st 16 6
Olympique Lyon Women 2nd (joint) 16 6
Chelsea Women 3rd 14 6
Bayern Munich Women 4th 13 6
Arsenal Women 5th 12 6
Manchester United Women 6th 12 6
Real Madrid Women 7th 11 6
Juventus Women 8th 10 6
VfL Wolfsburg Women 9th 9 6

The implication: Arsenal’s 5th-place finish seeds them favorably for the knockout phase draw, avoiding the strongest group winners while still facing competitive elimination matches.

Points and Position

Despite the 5th-place finish, Arsenal qualified for the Champions League knockout phase play-offs as a seeded team, per UEFA Official. Arsenal Women’s Champions League knockout phase play-off games will be played at Meadow Park, which was upgraded to meet UEFA regulations for Champions League matches, according to Wikipedia.

The catch

Finishing 5th means Arsenal avoids some of the top seeds but faces a dangerous unseeded opponent in the play-offs — the margin between advancing and elimination is razor-thin at this stage.

Arsenal wfc scores

Arsenal Women’s season reached a highlight on 1 February 2026 when they won the Champions Cup final 3-2 against South American champions Corinthians, per Wikipedia. This victory provided momentum heading into the business end of both domestic and European competitions.

Latest Match Results

Alessia Russo was Arsenal Women’s top WSL scorer with 9 goals in the league, and she accumulated 19 goals across all competitions for the 2025-26 season, per Wikipedia. Her contributions have been central to Arsenal’s attacking output in both competitions.

The upshot

With Alessia Russo leading the line and a proven goalscoring record, Arsenal possesses the firepower to convert chances when it matters most in the knockout phase.

Why this matters

Arsenal’s knockout phase play-offs at Meadow Park represent a critical juncture: advance and face stiffer opposition in the round of 16, or exit the competition and focus resources on securing a top-2 WSL finish.

Arsenal W.F.C. players

Key Squad Members

Alessia Russo has been instrumental, leading the team with 9 WSL goals and 19 goals across all competitions this season, per Wikipedia. Her goalscoring output has been crucial to Arsenal’s league position and European campaign.

Contributions to Standings

The collective effort has produced 38 goals in the WSL (11 wins from 17 matches) and 11 goals in the Champions League league phase.

Arsenal W.F.C. Official Announcement

League phase and knockout phase play-offs games of the Champions League, and all domestic league matches, require UEFA-standard facilities which prompted the Meadow Park upgrades.

For Arsenal Women, the picture is clear: a 3rd-place WSL finish keeps them in the hunt for Champions League qualification spots, while their 5th-place Champions League standing guarantees a seeded knockout phase berth. The two-competition squeeze means every remaining fixture carries weight. A top-2 WSL finish would secure direct UCL group stage entry for next season — or another qualifier awaits.
