The WSL schedule was decimated just days after it was reported several WSL players had travelled to Dubai on a "business trip". Four players at Women's Super League side Manchester City tested positive for coronavirus after also returning from Dubai. Games between Aston Villa and Arsenal, Manchester City and West Ham, Everton and Manchester United, and Bristol City vs Brighton were all postponed because of coronavirus cases depleting squads. Chelsea boss Emma Hayes called on players and clubs to pull together after a "dark week for women's football". Chelsea were crowned champions of the curtailed 2019/20 Women's Super League, overtaking Manchester City on a points-per-game record, with Liverpool relegated.
