The Women's Championship (formerly The FA Women's Championship) is the second-highest division of women's football in England. The division was established in 2014 as the FA Women's Super League 2 (WSL 2).

WSL 2 replaced the previous level 2 division, the FA Women's Premier League (WPL) National Division, which ended after the 2012–13 season. The WPL's last national division champions, Sunderland A.F.C. Women, were not promoted and also became the first winners of WSL 2 in the 2014 season. In addition to Sunderland, other WPL clubs that joined WSL 2 in 2014 were Watford and Aston Villa.

From 2014 to 2016, WSL 2 ran a summer-based season calendar before reverting to the winter season in 2017–18, the same as WSL 1.

FA WSL 2 was renamed the FA Women's Championship prior to the 2018–19 season. Ahead of the 2022–23 season the top two tiers unveiled a new visual identity, dropping "The FA" from the league names as part of the long term strategy for the leagues to be under new ownership in the future. Having sponsored the first tier since the 2019–20 season, it marked the first season of Barclays as the title partner of the Women's Championship.

History

Sunderland AFC Ladies won the FA WSL 2 in 2014

For the 2014 season, the FA Women's Super League was expanded to create a second division with nine new teams added and one team being relegated from the WSL 1. WSL 1 remained as eight teams, with one new team inserted, with the WSL 2 having ten teams.

The new WSL 1 licence was awarded to Manchester City in 2014. Doncaster Rovers Belles were relegated to WSL 2, with nine new licences awarded to London Bees, Durham, Aston Villa, Millwall Lionesses, Yeovil Town, Reading, Sunderland, Watford, and Oxford United. Doncaster Belles appealed against their demotion, but were unsuccessful.

In December 2014, the FA WSL announced a two-year plan to expand WSL 1 from an eight to ten-team league. Two teams would be promoted from WSL 2, while one team would be relegated to WSL 2. Also, for the first time, a team would earn promotion to WSL 2 from the Women's Premier League (now National League), effectively connecting the WSL to the rest of the English women's football pyramid.

This left WSL 1 with nine teams and WSL 2 with ten teams for the 2016 season, and with the process repeated the following year, both WSL 1 and WSL 2 consisted of ten teams each for the 2017–18 season. In addition to being able to prove their financial solvency, clubs applying for entry to the WSL had to show they would attract an average of 350 spectators in 2016, increasing to at least 400 in 2017.

FA WSL 2 was renamed the Women's Championship prior to the 2018–19 season.

In May 2020 the Championship season was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2022 the league was renamed to simply the Women's Championship, with the FA part being dropped.

英格兰女子超级联赛(English Women's Premier League,简称WSL)是英格兰的女子足球最高等级联赛,与英格兰男子超级联赛(The English Football League,简称EFL)并称英格兰超级联赛。联赛的名称“女子”与“男子”旨在显示性别差异。2019年2月2日,曼城女足宣布将该队将从2019/20赛季起更名为“Manchester City Women”,以便于与中国大陆的知名企业合作,这将是中国大陆第一个进军女子足球欧洲赛事的企业。

这个联赛中的球队通常都是来自英格兰本土的女子足球俱乐部,有些球队也有来自其他国家的球员或教练。在赛季开始前,各个球队都会进行一轮或多轮的选拔赛,以确定参赛名单。在赛季期间,球队需要定期参加主场比赛,并按照规定的时间进行训练和比赛。
