Liverpool FC Women and Brighton & Hove Albion Women meet in the FA Cup semi-finals, with a place at Wembley on the line for both clubs.

For Liverpool, this is a chance to reach the final and add a major domestic cup to their ambitions. They arrive at this stage having shown they can mix it with the WSL's best, even if their recent league form has been inconsistent.

Brighton come into this fixture in strong shape under head coach Dario Vidosic, two years into a project that has transformed the club's standing in the women's game. Fran Kirby has been central to that, bringing winning experience to a squad that is starting to believe it can challenge for trophies.

The Seagulls know what it feels like to fall at this stage. They were beaten in a 3-2 thriller in 2023 when Rachel Williams' late winner sent Manchester United to Wembley instead. This time, the mood around the club feels different.

Liverpool will be determined to deny them. Both sides have earned their place in the last four and neither will treat this as anything other than a genuine final before the final.

Read on for everything you need to know about how to watch the match, including TV channel, live stream details and kick-off time.

How to watch Liverpool FC Women vs Brighton & Hove Albion Women with VPN

If you are travelling abroad or just want to access your usual streaming services from a different part of the world, you may run into geo-restrictions. This is where a Virtual Private Network (VPN) comes in handy.

A VPN, such as ExpressVPN, allows you to establish a secure, encrypted connection online. By virtually changing your location to a country where the game is being broadcast, you can bypass blackout restrictions and watch your favourite team live.

Team news & squads

No injury or suspension information has been confirmed for Liverpool FC Women ahead of this semi-final. No probable lineup has been released at this stage, and updates will be added closer to kick-off.

Brighton & Hove Albion Women have also not yet released team news or a projected XI. Any confirmed absences or lineup details will be updated as they become available.

Form

Liverpool's last five matches tell the story of a side capable of producing results but struggling for consistency. They have won two, drawn one and lost two, scoring seven goals and conceding five across that run. Their most recent outing ended in a 1-0 WSL defeat to Manchester City Women, following a 1-0 home loss to West Ham United the week before. The brighter moments came earlier in that stretch, with a 2-3 win at Everton and a 1-0 FA Cup victory at Charlton Athletic showing the attacking quality they can produce when things click.

Brighton arrive in far better recent form. They have won three of their last five, drawing the other two without defeat, and their results include a 3-2 WSL win over Manchester City Women. Their most recent match ended 1-1 against Arsenal Women in the WSL, while they also drew 1-1 with Manchester United Women earlier in May. The Seagulls beat Arsenal Women in the FA Cup quarter-final and claimed a 1-0 win at Leicester City WFC, giving them five matches without a defeat heading into this semi-final.


Head-to-Head Record


The two sides met as recently as March 22, 2026, when they played out a goalless draw in a WSL fixture at Brighton. That result followed a 1-1 draw at Liverpool in November 2025, also in the league. Across the last five meetings, Liverpool hold a slight edge, winning two to Brighton's one, with two draws. Liverpool's victories in that run include a 2-1 WSL home win in January 2025 and a 2-1 away win at Brighton in April 2025.

  • Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
  • Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
