Barclays Women's Super League is officially underway, and the 2026-27 season is already full of breakout performances. There's a whole season ahead for any shocking results or underdog stories, so that means it's time to roll out the power rankings. After each matchweek, teams will be ranked based on overall performances or lackluster efforts.
Perhaps Chelsea FC are exactly who we thought they were, a team more than capable of dropping a five-piece on opposition, and in Manchester United's case, maybe they have a much bigger gap between them and contenders than ever before. The latest rankings offer a chance to comment on results, breakout appearances, and questions heading into matchweek three. Make sure to check back as the season progresses and keep up with all the matches across CBS Sports platforms.
If you want to keep up with all the changes, be sure to check out my previous power rankings. CBS Sports is the home of the Barclays Women's Super League, and fans can watch all the latest games. Paramount+ will live stream all 183 matches each season, the most matches ever made available in the competition's newly expanded format.
CBS Sports Network will additionally air one match per week, with select fixtures also broadcast on CBS Sports Golazo Network. As if Manchester City didn't already look like an unstoppable defending champion, the attacking duo of Mary Fowler and Khadija "Bunny" Shaw are showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Lucy Bronze is an absolute menace in case you didn't get the memo.
A huge bounce-back performance engineered by the veteran, who led the team in touches (120) and got on the scoreboard in the blowout win. Gunners manager Renee Slegers said it best: "A point is not enough for us," following a scoreless fixture at Emirates Stadium. She's right, given Arsenal's 30 shots and an abysmal three attempts on target despite the flurry in front of goal.
You've got to create even if you don't get the credit for it, and thankfully Spurs have Signe Gaupset to do that right now. Put in the effort on and off the ball, and it'll be the kind of play the squad needs to keep up during a long season. Fuka Nagano might be in the early running for most underrated player with Liverpool this season.
