Women’s Super League in England to expand from 12 to 14 teams
- Starting with the 2026-27 season, the top tier of women's football in England will increase its number of participating teams from 12 to 14.
- This development comes after Nikki Doucet, CEO of Women’s Professional Leagues Limited, presented a plan that was approved at a recent WSL shareholders meeting and now awaits confirmation from the FA Board.
- The reform includes a promotion/relegation play-off between the 13th-placed WSL team and the WSL 2 runner-up, while WSL 2 becomes fully professional with 12 teams.
- Doucet explained that increasing the number of teams in the BWSL to 14, pending FA Board approval, is intended to enhance standards, foster clear differentiation, encourage investment, and promote greater fluidity between divisions.
- These modifications seek to increase competitiveness, sustain financial stability, and provide more promotion opportunities through the pyramid structure.
