About English Womens Super League 2
The Women's Championship is the second tier of women's soccer in England, sitting just below the Women's Super League. It's a 12-team competition that runs from September through May. The league is the gateway to the top flight, with one promotion spot up for grabs. The season is in the final stretch, with the promotion race coming down to the wire.
Top teams
The Women's Championship is a mix of former WSL clubs and ambitious sides trying to move up. Sunderland Women, Birmingham City Women, and Bristol City Women have all spent time in the top flight. Southampton FC Women, London City Lionesses, and Charlton Athletic Women are pushing for promotion. The league also has clubs like Newcastle United Women, Durham Women, and Sheffield United Women. The competition is tight. The promotion race usually goes down to the final weeks of the season.
Format
The league has 12 teams. Each plays each other twice in the regular season. The champion is promoted automatically to the Women's Super League. There's no playoff for the second spot — only the top team goes up. The bottom team is relegated to the National League Northern or Southern Premier divisions. The format is simple and brutal. One bad season can send a club down, and one good season can lift them to the top flight.
Viewership
The Women's Championship pulls around 1 million viewers annually. The numbers are strongest in the local communities where clubs are based. The promotion race draws the biggest audience, especially in the final weeks. International interest is growing, with fans of clubs like Sunderland, Southampton, and Newcastle following their teams from abroad. The league doesn't have the massive broadcast deals of the WSL, but it's gaining attention.
Streaming options in the UK
Sky Sports is the primary broadcaster for the Women's Championship, marking the first time the second tier has had a dedicated commercial broadcast partner. The deal runs through 2030. Matches not selected for live TV on Sky Sports are streamed live on the official Barclays Women's Championship YouTube channel.
Global streaming options
The Barclays Women's Championship YouTube channel is the primary global option for watching matches. A deal struck for the 2025-26 season onward ensures that every single Women's Championship match is streamed live. If a match is not picked up by a local TV partner like Sky Sports in the UK, it will be available here for free. No subscription needed. The platform is available worldwide.
Streaming options in the US
While ESPN+ holds the rights to the top-tier Women's Super League, the second-tier Championship matches generally remain available via the global YouTube stream. Major cup matches involving Championship teams may occasionally appear on ESPN+.
Streaming options in Canada
Sportsnet+ is the official broadcaster for the top-tier WSL in Canada. The second-tier Championship matches are typically not part of the premium broadcast package and can be watched via the global YouTube stream.
Streaming options in Europe and Rest of World
While select broadcasters hold rights for the top-tier WSL — like DAZN, Viaplay in Scandinavia, and Sky in Italy and Germany — the Women's Championship relies on YouTube for global distribution. Highlights and news are often available via The FA Player, though live games have largely migrated to YouTube.
Current season
The 2025-26 Women's Championship season kicked off in September 2025. The regular season runs through May. The promotion race is tight, with four clubs separated by just a few points. The champion gets promoted to the Women's Super League for the 2026-27 season. The final matchday is scheduled for May 2026. Crystal Palace Women won the 2024-25 title and moved up to the WSL. This year's winner will follow them.
