Guardian launches free women's football newsletter Moving the Goalposts

Guardian Opens Free Sign-Up for Women's Football Newsletter Moving the Goalposts

The Guardian has opened sign-ups for Moving the Goalposts, a free women's football newsletter delivered to subscribers' inboxes twice a week. The publication is pitching the email as a deeper, more passionate look at the women's game, combining news with analysis and opinion from a dedicated team of writers and guest contributors.

According to the outlet, the newsletter is "informative, entertaining, global, critical – when needed – and, above all, passionate." It is written mainly by Júlia Belas Trindade and Sophie Downey, with regular guest appearances promised from stars of the game.

Star Contributors and a Global Focus

The Guardian says readers can expect insights from high-profile figures including Norway and Lyon forward Ada Hegerberg, Chelsea and Sweden defender Magdalena Eriksson, and former England international Anita Asante. Their involvement signals an editorial mix that leans on first-hand perspective from current and former players as well as reporting from the newsroom.

Publishing twice a week, the newsletter aims to cover the women's game on a global scale rather than limiting itself to a single league or national team, giving subscribers a regular roundup alongside longer-form insight.

Part of a Wider Newsletter Push

Moving the Goalposts sits alongside the Guardian's broader suite of sports emails, which includes the daily football email The Fiver, the cricket newsletter The Spin, the rugby union catch-up The Breakdown, and The Recap, a seven-day roundup of the best sports journalism. Readers based in Australia are pointed toward Guardian Australia's daily sports newsletter.

The sign-up page directs interested readers to register for the free email, with no subscription cost attached to receiving the women's football roundup.
