Arsenal Women face Charlton Athletic at Meadow Park on Wednesday evening in their final scheduled friendly before the new Women’s Super League season, but no television broadcast or live stream has yet been confirmed.
Renée Slegers’ side return to action three days after securing a dramatic 1-0 victory over Paris FC.
Olivia Smith scored the winner in the 91st minute, giving Arsenal another positive result as their significantly rebuilt squad prepares to defend its WSL title challenge.

The fixture will take place at the Mangata Developments Stadium, commonly known as Meadow Park, on Wednesday, 26 August.
Kick-off is scheduled for 7pm BST.
Neither club has announced television coverage or an official live stream as of Monday afternoon. That could change closer to kick-off, so supporters should monitor Arsenal’s official channels for an announcement.

Arsenal Women prepare for WSL opener
Wednesday’s match completes Arsenal’s scheduled pre-season programme before the league campaign begins away at Brighton on Sunday, 6 September.
Slegers named four summer signings in her starting XI against Paris FC, with Misa Rodríguez, Georgia Stanway, Lisa Baum and Selina Cerci all starting.
Smith eventually decided the contest with a superb stoppage-time finish, as covered in ReadArsenal’s match report from Meadow Park.
Charlton have also confirmed that Wednesday’s game will be their final test before beginning their WSL campaign against Liverpool.
Both managers therefore have one final opportunity to assess their squads before competitive football returns.
