Transfers, Predictions, Big League Changes: Crossways Is Back for WSL 2025-26

Crossways is back for the new WSL season, and there's already a lot on the table. How much will the WSL minimum wage be? Will the London City Lionesses' signing strategy pay off? Will Olivia Smith start? Hosts Steph Houghton and Ian Wright answer all these questions and more as they kick off Season 2. First, they welcome The Cutback's Flo Lloyd-Hughes to the new Crossways London studio to get into the London City Lionesses and the impact of WSL minimum wages, before they move on to the extraordinary swap from red to blue (Grace Clinton) and blue to red (Jess Park). Wrighty shows love for Lia Walti, is buzzing for Ellie Roebuck's move, and calls Trinity Rodman to come to the WSL. Ahead of Olivia Smith's first season at Arsenal, Steph shares how Manchester City prepared to face her and talks about the power of minimum wages to focus players, draw investment to the game, and make the English league the best in the world. Listen to Season 2, Episode 1 to get insights you won't find anywhere else, have your artwork displayed in the studio, and join the Crossways League to compete against Ian and Steph in this season's score predictions.
