It's here. The 2026 summer transfer window has arrived and it promises to be an extremely eventful one in the women's game, with several huge stars on the move. Alexia Putellas, Georgia Stanway and Sam Kerr are just some of those who have already completed summer transfers, with there plenty of rumours and reports of more to come and some surprises sure to be sprung, too.

Sam Kerr scores her first Gotham FC goal as the Bats draw Portland Thorns FC 2-2, while Sofia Cantore lifts Washington Spirit past Lindsey Heaps and Denver Summit FC 1-0. GOAL ranks all 16 NWSL teams in this week’s Power Rankings.

Sam Kerr has officially announced her return to the United States in the most emphatic fashion possible, ending a nearly seven-year wait to get back on an NWSL scoresheet. The former Chelsea superstar proved she hasn't lost her clinical edge, rescuing a vital point for Gotham FC in a pulsating 2-2 draw against the Portland Thorns.
