BBC ALBA will broadcast coverage of what could be one of the defining matches of the Scottish Women’s Premier League (SWPL) season when champions Hibs travel to play Celtic – with both having made impressive starts to this season’s campaign.
The clash between two of the favourites for the 2025/26 title will be one of three fixtures to be shown on successive weekends by BBC ALBA during September.
Celtic will feature on Sunday 14 September when they make the trip north to face Aberdeen, before they entertain Hibernian a week later on Sunday 21 September.
To complete a hat-trick for the month, BBC ALBA will also broadcast the derby clash between Rangers and Glasgow City on Sunday 28 September.
The multi-year deal, funded by BBC ALBA’s partner MG ALBA, will see the broadcaster continue to bring live coverage of top flight women’s football to viewers across the country until the end of the 2027/28 season, cementing BBC ALBA’s role as the home of the SWPL.
Fiona MacKenzie, BBC ALBA commissioning editor, said: “The battle to win the SWPL already looks like it could go to the wire this season, with Hibs and Celtic making particularly strong starts to their respective campaigns.
“Our partnership with the SWPL supports the continued visibility and growth of the game and the three fixtures BBC ALBA is set to broadcast live in September promise to showcase Scottish women’s football at its finest.”
