Albion will open their first WSL season at home to Bristol City.

They kick-off in the top-flight at the Broadfield Stadium on Sunday, September 19.

Before that they have Continental Cup fixtures at Chelsea and Tottenham.

The Seagulls have gone full-time and will tackle the best teams in the land home and away in the league.

Manchester City visit the Broadfield Stadium on October 21 and there is a busy week in early December when Hope Powell’s side host West Ham, Crystal Palace (in the Conti Cup) and champions Chelsea in the space of eight days.

Home fixtures will be staged at Crawley’s home, usually at 2pm on Sundays.
