Nike Reveal WSL Match Balls for the 26/27 Season.

Ahead of the new campaign, WSL Football and Nike unveiled the official match balls for the 2026/27 season, marking the next chapter in a multi-year partnership that supports players across the Barclays Women's Super League, Barclays Women's Super League 2 and the Subway Players Cup.

The new design of the WSL match balls from Nike brings a modern twist to one of the icons of the game, the T90. The unmistakable multi-coloured rings and graphic lines, featuring blue, red, pink and black accents, pay tribute to the bold look that made the T90 a standout on pitches in the Premier League. As the ball moves through the air, the graphics are designed to create a strobe-like effect, helping it stand out in flight, while a gold Nike Swoosh sits proudly at the heart of the design.

Developed for all three WSL Football competitions, the official match ball combines that classic T90-inspired look with Nike's latest performance technology. OMNISculpt grooves debossed into the casing help deliver a more consistent flight, while the four-panel construction, featuring shorter and staggered seams, creates a larger sweet spot and a more uniform shape. All Conditions Control technology adds extra grip in both wet and dry weather, helping players perform at their best in every match.

Set to appear in pre-season training before making their competitive debut on 4 September, the new match balls are part of Nike's expanded role as WSL Football's official technical partner, underlining a shared commitment to helping women's football continue to grow on and off the pitch.

The official match balls will be available at retail from the start of the season alongside a supporting apparel collection.
