No-one seems to know. The FA haven't even hinted at a date yet. Last year they came out on the first Friday in July, although the first fixture was a week earlier last year than this.
From what I remember the only new signing is Longhurst with retained as Rogers (also she was a loan last year, Roe, Godfrey, Skeels, Henson, Roche, Ross, Addison and the acadamy player Mary B (can't remember her name!). Rutherford will still be recovering from her ACL and miss the start of the season.

Rogers is a new signing. She was on loan and now we've signed her permanently. Henson was released. O'Rourke signed a new deal and Jess Gray signed her first professional contract. Mel Johnson signed for a year with the option of a second year, unclear whose favour that is in but you'd assume we would have triggered it immediately if it was in ours.
Game against Ipswich Women yesterday at Sparrows Lane. Charlton went 2-0 up but game finished 2-2. A Charlton player was injured which caused a long delay. From the Ipswich website.
Here are the home fixtures for the coming season (2pm Sunday unless otherwise noted):
27 Aug Sheffield United (3pm) 10 Sep Watford 8 Oct Durham 22 Oct Crystal Palace 19 Nov Sunderland 21 Jan Blackburn Rovers 4 Feb Lewes 18 Feb Reading 24 Mar London City Lionesses 31 Mar Birmingham City 28 Apr Southampton
The Sheffield game is due to be at The Valley. The Durham and Sunderland games are shown as 2pm but are usually at noon to make travel easier - check nearer the time.
And here are the away games, with venues to the extent we know them. Any club that doesn't play all games at their main stadium is likely to move a game or two during the season. Palace, Blackburn, Watford and Southampton all seem to have moved since last season.
2 Sep Reading, at Reading FC (Saturday, 5.15PM) 17 Sep Birmingham City, at St Andrews 1 Oct London City Lionesses, at Dartford FC 15 Oct Blackburn Rovers, at Lancashire FA, Leyland 5 Nov Lewes, at the Dripping Pan 12 Nov Southampton, at AFC Totton 17 Dec Sheffield United, at Bramall Lane 28 Jan Crystal Palace, at Sutton United 3 Mar Watford, at Ruislip Manor Sports & Social Club (Wealdstone FC) 17 Mar Durham, at Maiden Castle 21 Apr Sunderland, at Eppleton Colliery Welfare
As above, I'd expect Durham and Sunderland to be likely to kick off early.
Signed Kayleigh Green. That's now two signings who are 34 and 35. Evidently going for experience in depth roles but I hope we can pick up some new first teamers soon. Need a CB (hopefully N'Dow) and a LB as well as another winger at least. A bit of extra quality in the middle would be nice too

Correction: the FA had duff information about Southampton's plans - they haven't moved back to AFC Totton, other than keeping it available as a backup if St Mary's isn't available. I've never seen Charlton play at St Mary's so that one's going straight into the diary.

Oxford have been playing a string of friendlies against championship clubs, all behind closed doors, I think mainly at their training ground although they haven't been advertising that. I don't understand why we don't at least admit the games are happening, even if fans can't attend, but if I remember right it was much the same last season, all kept very quiet.

According to the MK Dons website the game on Sunday 6th is at Fairfields Sports Hub, MK11 4BA. For their home friendly against Moneyfields they charged £3 adults, £1 concessions. It's a noon kickoff.
I have a season ticket and when bought was told I could/would get 4 free Womens tickets this season. The first game is on sale but no mention of free ticket being available - how will this work ? Doesn't give you option at Basket ? I will go to most and pay anyway but would like my perk too.
