Manchester United’s first home match of the new Women’s Super League season, against Arsenal, was given a new date earlier this week.
The fixture will be shown live in the UK on Sky Sports.
It will now take place two days earlier, receiving a primetime Friday-night slot in front of the broadcast cameras.
That encounter is set to be played at Villa Park on Sunday 1 October, and gets under way at 12:30 BST.
Marc Skinner’s side are currently in Germany on a pre-season training camp, as we continue our preparations before that Villa game, and the start of the new term.
The Reds have already faced Bayern Munich, Everton and Leicester City in warm-up matches, with further friendlies against Liverpool (13 September) and Tottenham Hotspur (17 September) still to come this month.
