Sources: 6 named sources listed below; 6 with an access date.

Manchester City completed a 1–0 away win over Charlton Athletic in the Women’s Super League on 26 September. Alex Greenwood’s 36th-minute free-kick settled the fixture at The Valley. The result was final, not ongoing: the official WSL fixture listing and BBC Sport’s match report record the score, while Manchester City’s report also confirms Greenwood as the scorer.

City’s fourth win in four league games left them on 12 points at the end of this reporting window. ESPN’s updated table shows Manchester City in first place after four matches. That standing describes the position after Saturday’s completed game; the rest of the matchweek was still scheduled for Sunday.

Later, London City Lionesses completed a 2–0 home victory over Brighton & Hove Albion at Copperjax Community Stadium. Alexia Putellas scored in the 29th minute and Lucía Corrales added the second in stoppage time, at 90+2. The BBC’s final report and ESPN’s score record independently match the score and goal times; the official WSL listing also marks the game full time.

The win moved London City to nine points from four matches and second in the table, three points behind City. Brighton remained on two points after four games, according to the same ESPN standings. No result from the following day’s fixtures is included here.

These are the standings after Saturday’s two completed WSL fixtures, rather than a final Matchweek 4 table. The official WSL schedule listed the remaining league games for Sunday, including Chelsea v Arsenal and Liverpool v Everton, so they fall outside this closed reporting window.
