About Women’s Championship
Women’s Championship History, Format, Organization, Media Coverage
The Women’s Championship, previously known as the FA Women's Championship, is England's second-highest women’s football league. It was founded in 2014 and managed by Women’s Professional Leagues Ltd (WPLL) after the Football Association transferred ownership to an independent entity.
The league features 12 teams, with the season running from August/September to April/May. Each club faces every other team, home and away, in a double round-robin format.
The Women’s Championship operates a promotion and relegation system. The team finishing first at the end of the season wins the title and is promoted to the Women’s Super League, England's top women’s football league. Conversely, the bottom two clubs are relegated and replaced by the National League North and National League South champions, the regional divisions of the third-tier football league.
Originally launched as the FA Women's Super League 2 (WSL 2), the league replaced the FA Women's Premier League (WPL) National Division. It was rebranded as the FA Women's Championship ahead of the 2018–19 season before dropping "the FA" from its name before the 2022–23 season.
Bristol City claimed the first trophy after the league rebranded as the Women’s Championship, defeating Birmingham City for the crown. In 2014, Sunderland won the inaugural title, narrowly beating Doncaster Rovers Belles, with Chelsea legend Fran Kirby, then a Sunderland player, finishing as the top scorer. Doncaster was the runner-up in three of the first four Women’s Championship seasons before winning the title in 2017-18.
