The 25/26 football season is wrapped ⚽🔥   From a fiercely competitive Premier League campaign to a landmark year for the Barclays Women’s Super League, it’s been a standout season. As title sponsor of the Barclays WSL, Official Banking Partner of the Premier League, and headline sponsor of Scotland’s iconic national stadium, Hampden Park, we’ve brought fans closer to the game – from elite competitions to grassroots through initiatives like Barclays Girls’ Football in Schools and the Barclays Community Sport Fund.   What defined the season? ⚽ History-makers – Arsenal ending a 22-year wait for the Premier League title, Manchester City breaking Chelsea’s Barclays WSL dominance, and Bunny Shaw setting new records – as the Barclays WSL and Barclays WSL 2 introduced their first-ever play-off and prepares to expand to 14 teams next season.   🌍 Real impact – 90% of girls in England (Key Stages 2 and 3) now have access to football in PE, over 670,000 people supported through the Barclays Community Sport Fund, and grassroots heroes recognised through initiatives like Barclays Community Icon of the Month and our partnership with the Football Black List.   📣 Fans at the heart – from UK matchdays and derby moments to global experiences like Premier League Fan Fest in Tampa Bay, connecting with millions through fan-first content and collaborations with creators, broadcasters and players. From grassroots to the global stage, every moment mattered.   Thank you to everyone who makes the game what it is – see you next season ➡️
