Moving the Goalposts: The Free Newsletter Taking You Inside Women's Football, Twice a Week
Guardian Football·September 5, 2026
Football fans craving smarter, deeper coverage of the women's game can now find it landing in their inbox twice a week — completely free. The Guardian's Moving the Goalposts newsletter rounds up the essential stories from the world of women's football, delivering a blend of news, analysis and expert opinion that keeps readers ahead of the curve.
The newsletter is written primarily by journalists Júlia Belas Trindade and Sophie Downey, who bring a distinctive editorial voice to every edition: informative, entertaining and thoroughly global in scope. Crucially, it is unafraid to be critical when the moment calls for it — and, above all, it is passionate about the game it covers.
What truly sets Moving the Goalposts apart is the calibre of its contributors. Readers can expect guest appearances from some of the biggest names in the sport, including Norwegian striker Ada Hegerberg, Sweden defender Magdalena Eriksson and former England international Anita Asante — offering perspectives from inside the professional game that few other newsletters can match.
The timing could hardly be better. Women's football is enjoying unprecedented growth worldwide, with record audiences, expanding domestic leagues and a packed international calendar keeping the storylines coming. Whether it is transfer drama, tactical trends or the biggest matches across the globe, the newsletter promises to take readers deeper into a wonderful and rapidly evolving sporting world.
And for those whose sporting appetite extends beyond football, the Guardian offers a full menu of companion emails. The Fiver, the occasionally funny football email, arrives Monday to Friday, while The Spin covers cricket and The Breakdown handles rugby union on a weekly basis. The Recap, meanwhile, offers a seven-day roundup of the very best of the Guardian's sports journalism. Readers based in Australia can also sign up for Guardian Australia's daily sports newsletter.
Signing up is free, and each edition is designed to be as enjoyable to read as it is informative — a must for casual followers and devoted fans alike. For anyone looking to understand where the women's game is heading next, Moving the Goalposts is an easy subscription decision.
