Statistics from all 132 WSL matches in the 2025-2026 season: 392 goals in total, an average of 2.97 per match, with the first goal arriving after 28.3 minutes on average.

When goals are scored

392 goals across the 122 matches that produced one, placed by the minute each was scored. The busiest stretch is 75-90, with 17.1% of them. 24.2% arrive from the 75th minute on, and 7.1% in stoppage time at the end.

0-1562 · 15.8%
15-3053 · 13.5%
30-4558 · 14.8%
45+18 · 4.6%
46-6049 · 12.5%
60-7557 · 14.5%
75-9067 · 17.1%
90+28 · 7.1%

Blue is the first half, grey the second, amber the two stoppage-time bins. Minutes are as recorded: first-half stoppage counts as 45+, and anything after 90 as 90+.

48.7% of goals come before half time. That figure counts first-half stoppage time, which is where most published numbers go wrong: goals in added time at the end of the half are recorded as minutes 46, 47 and 48, so cutting the match at minute 45 pushes them into the second half and gives 44.1% instead — out by 4.6 points.

First Goal Timing

Across 132 matches the first goal arrived after 28.3 minutes on average. The histogram shows when the opening goal was scored, in three-minute bins, including matches with no goal at all.
