The 2024/25 Women's Super League (WSL) season officially wraps on Saturday, with Chelsea preparing to claim even more history on the heels of their sixth-straight league title.
The still-undefeated Blues will face sixth-place Liverpool in their final outing, with Chelsea on the cusp of becoming the fourth-ever team to finish a WSL season unbeaten.
Should they do so, Chelsea will join 2012's Arsenal, 2016's Manchester City, and their own 2018 squad in achieving perfection — those this year's Blues would be the first to accomplish the feat in the expanded 22-match campaign.
While the team only needs a draw to remain undefeated, a win would secure Chelsea another record, becoming the first club to tally 60 points in a single campaign — two more than the current mark the Blues claimed in 2022/23.
Despite their astounding WSL record, the Blues have fought hard for their dominance this season, with first-year head coach Sonia Bompastor strategically using her entire roster to maintain the winning legacy left by now-USWNT boss Emma Hayes.
"Don't think it's easy. It's never easy," said Bompastor after Chelsea's 2024/25 title win. "It's a great achievement and a lot of work every day — I don't let my players breathe."
Battle for second-place continues on final WSL matchday
While Chelsea chases records, other top WSL clubs are still jockeying for positions on the league's final 2024/25 table.
Along with the Blues, Arsenal and Manchester United are locked into Champions League qualifying positions for next season — but United could leapfrog Arsenal for a second-place WSL finish on Saturday.
Separated by just one point, the Red Devils and the Gunners will face off against each other in the season's final blockbuster matchup.
Arsenal has extra incentive for a good showing, as the Gunners try to snap their two-game WSL losing streak and gain momentum before battling Barcelona in the May 24th Champions League final.
Chelsea also has a shot at another trophy looming, with the Blues chasing a second domestic treble — winning the league, FA Cup, and League Cup.
However, a tough Manchester United stands in the way of Chelsea's third and final treble title, with the pair facing off in the FA Cup's May 18th championship match.
How to watch WSL matches this weekend
All 12 WSL teams will kick off their season's last matches at 7:30 AM ET on Saturday.
Both Chelsea's game against Liverpool and Manchester United's visit to Arsenal will stream live on ESPN+.
With two matches still to play in the 2024/25 season, Chelsea FC won their sixth straight WSL championship on Wednesday, defeating third-place Manchester United 1-0 to extend their league dominance yet another year.
Shortly after second-place Arsenal fell 5-2 to ninth-place Aston Villa, strong defense from USWNT star Naomi Girma and a game-winning goal from England's Lucy Bronze secured Chelsea's victory, putting the first-place Blues out of reach in points.
"We work really hard and we had the right mindset from the beginning of the season until now. It's a lot of hard work every day," said Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor, who kept the Blues' winning streak alive in her first year at the helm.
Despite a disappointing finish in last weekend's Champions League semifinals, Chelsea's quest for a second domestic treble — winning the league, FA Cup, and League Cup — is still alive.
"After we lost to Barcelona, I told them, 'this competition is over,'" said Bompastor. "It hurts, for sure, because it was one of our goals, but we're professionals and we had to focus on the next game and tonight was really important for us."
With both the WSL championship and League Cup secured, the Blues final challenge to clinch their domestic treble is the FA Cup grand finale on May 18th, when Chelsea will again face Manchester United to cap their 2024/25 campaign.
Chelsea FC kept their quadruple dreams alive this weekend, advancing to the 2025 FA Cup Final with Saturday’s 2-1 semifinal win over Liverpool in their quest to lift four major trophies in a single season.
With the 2025 League Cup already secured last month, the Blues will continue hunting a sixth straight WSL title when they dive back into league play next week.
The WSL leaders have yet to lose a league match this season. Chelsea currently holds a six-point lead over both London rival Arsenal and Manchester United at the top of the table, with just four matchdays separating the club from their second piece of 2024/25 hardware.
A first-ever UWCL title could clinch a Chelsea quadruple
If the Blues take home the 2025 FA Cup after their May 18th battle with Man U, they will need just one final championship to clinch the quadruple — the 2024/25 UEFA Women's Champions League trophy.
First, however, Chelsea must book a spot in the UWCL's championship match on May 24th. To do so, first-year manager Sonia Bompastor’s squad must outlast Champions League powerhouse Barcelona in the tournament's two-leg semifinals, which kick off next weekend.
Should they go on to lock down the 2025 FA Cup, WSL, and UWCL titles, the Blues will become just the third team to ever win a quartet, joining the 2006/07 Arsenal squad and last season's dominant Barcelona roster.
