Women’s sports are championed by lesbian athletes. There are many reasons for this, and I believe it is primarily because sport is a great escape from societal norms on women.

She is part of a team, something bigger than her, something she can lead an impact towards a common goal.
Below are leagues that are coming into their 2025 season who have out lesbians playing:
-National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL)- pre-season ends with the Challenge Cup, a one game tournament for bragging rights and a trophy on March 7th, 8pm EST on Prime Video. Reigning 2024 champions Orlando Pride host a championship rematch with Washington Spirit. The official season opener also opens with the Pride in Orlando, March 14th against the Chicago Red Stars.
-Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL)- admittedly, I don’t watch hockey, so I didn’t know their season already started. Nonetheless, there’s games on all this week.
-Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA)- First of all, congrats to Diana Taurasi on retiring. I hope she can do more funny broadcast commentary with Sue in the future. Preseason games start May 2nd, and the official season starts May 16th with the Washington Mystics hosting the Atlanta Dream. WNBA
