GARETH TAYLOR says the sky is the limit to push for an increased broadcast deal for the Women\u2019s Super League and Championship.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Manchester City boss spoke after the women\u2019s top tier in the USA secured a record TV rights deal worth $240million, 40 times more than the existing one.\u00a0<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

That four-year agreement, announced on Thursday, will start in 2024 and is thought to be the largest agreed by a women's sport league to date. <\/p>\n

National Women\u2019s Soccer League games will be aired on CBS Sports, ESPN, Prime Video and Scripps Sports.\u00a0<\/p>\n

WSL and Women\u2019s Championship are also after a higher price for the combined broadcast rights contract, according to Telegraph Sport. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The WSL\u2019s existing TV deal with Sky Sports and the BBC, which finishes at the end of this term, is worth around \u00a38m per year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On his hopes for the WSL\u2019s new deal following the NWSL\u2019s announcement, Taylor said: "It's (women\u2019s football coverage) has moved on significantly.<\/p>\n

"How much further (can it go), the sky's the limit, really and also in regard to getting appropriate kick-off times so that supporters are able to watch their clubs men\u2019s and women\u2019s teams.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"That\u2019s been really difficult because it\u2019s a really tight calendar and they\u2019re on a tight turnaround.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"That being said, I think there\u2019s been significant steps in the three seasons I\u2019ve been here. <\/p>\n

"When I look at my first season of 2020-21 and it was a bit of a fake landscape with it being during Covid times.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"We probably had two games televised that season which was the FA Cup semi-final and final in an empty Wembley Stadium<\/p>\n

"The following season we saw the introduction of Sky Sports showcasing games alongside the BBC and that\u2019s now even more this season."<\/p>\n

On the pitch, Taylor aims to guide his side back to winning ways after the 2-1 loss at Arsenal, their first of the season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

City host Brighton today, who are yet to beat them, losing eight of their last nine games. And Albion have shipped 39 goals in those nine WSL games.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, Taylor will not underestimate the Seagulls \u2014 under new boss Melissa Phillips. <\/p>\n

Brighton drew with Manchester United last time out and have four former City players in their squad \u2014 defender Poppy Pattinson, midfielder Vicky Losada and forwards Pauline Bremner and Lee Geum-min.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Taylor added: "They took a solid point last week and there could have been more for them as well \u2014 and it just shows how dangerous they are.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"We wouldn\u2019t underestimate any opposition. <\/p>\n

"With their new coachthey\u2019ve been quite active in recruitment in terms of bringing in players who\u2019ve got really good experience in the WSL and international football."<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Taylor says he has high hopes for two of City\u2019s young rising stars, forward Jess Park and defender Ruby Mace.\u00a0<\/p>\n
