The broadcaster celebrated the day with 24 hours of programming dedicated to celebrating female athletes across the globe, both past and present.
It’s also an all-female line-up behind the cameras with producers, camera operators, sound engineers, creatives and production managers.
On their website, BT said this was not a ‘one-off day’ but part of their identity as a broadcaster.

They said: ‘This is not a one-off day. This is us. The women you’re watching on BT Sport today, and those behind the camera, are part of our team – they’re integral and important to who we are.
‘We say to those who show resistance and hostility to women in sport that BT Sport is not a channel for you.’
Aluko made over 100 caps for the Lionesses while White was captain of the side from 2002-2011.
Karen Carney and Rachel Brown-Finnis are also regular pundits on BT Sport.
