We are about to be treated to a summer of women鈥檚 sport, from football tournaments to netball finals and cricket matches. So far this year, the most-watched women鈥檚 sporting competition has been the Women鈥檚 Boat Race, with 2.18million viewers – and millions more are expected to tune into the sport on offer over the next few months, whether on television, social media, or in-person. Social media has been huge for women’s sport – the Barclays Women’s Super League has driven 56million views on TikTok and 20 million on YouTube this year, while women鈥檚 football teams dominated on Instagram (FC Barcelona Women racked up 38million engagements), according to the Women鈥檚 Sport Trust. Meanwhile, viewing figures are up for the Netball Super League, with hours growing by 229% on Sky Sports in 2025 compared with the previous year. The NSL Instagram has also seen a 47% increase in engagements on social media for January to May year-on-year. Women鈥檚 rugby has experienced a boost – between January and April 2025, the Red Roses players posted more TikTok content than any other England men鈥檚 or women鈥檚 teams in rugby, cricket, or football. Their 6.7million TikTok views were 75% higher than the England men鈥檚 team. Tammy Parlour, CEO of Women鈥檚 Sport Trust, said: 鈥淚t鈥檚 hugely encouraging to see women鈥檚 sport thriving on digital platforms, with athletes, teams, and leagues leveraging new ways to connect with fans. This ecosystem (built through collaboration between broadcasters, rights holders, and platforms) is vital to continuing the sport鈥檚 growth.鈥 Let鈥檚 take a look at the women鈥檚 sport on offer this summer, including scheduling dates and times, how to watch, and what to expect… The Lionesses will be hoping to retain their title as European champions as they head to Switzerland for the tournament.
