The WSL is hoping to capitalize on the momentum from Euro 2022.
England's victory over Germany in the final of Euro 2022 at Wembley in July was witnessed live by 87,192.
Arsenal star Mead, who was named the Player of the Tournament at the Euros, told BBC Sport after Saturday's London derby: "It was incredible what we did in the summer but now we want to continue this and hopefully this is still just the beginning."
Swedish Arsenal forward Lina Hurtig added: "I've never experienced that before, the fans were incredible."
