2024–25 Women's Championship
The 2024–25 Women's Championship season was the seventh season of the rebranded Women's Championship, the second tier of women's football in England, and the tenth season since the creation of the WSL 2.
Ahead of the season, it was announced that selected league matches would be streamed live globally on the league's YouTube channel. The transition followed the creation and subsequent takeover of the running of the league by NewCo, now known as WSL Football, an independent, club-owned entity which replaced The Football Association after recommendations from a government-backed review into the women's game in 2023.
Teams
Twelve teams were originally due to compete in the Championship for the 2024–25 season, the same number as the previous season, although this was later reduced to eleven prior to the start of the season. Crystal Palace were promoted to the Women's Super League as 2023–24 Women's Championship winners. They will be replaced by Bristol City who returned to the division following relegation from the Women's Super League after one season. Following a switch to a two down, two up system with the FA Women's National League, the 2024–25 season marks the first time more than one newly-promoted team will contest the Championship. Lewes and Watford were relegated to the FA Women's National League, Lewes after a six-season spell and Watford after one season following their promotion the previous year. They were replaced by Newcastle United, winners of the 2023–24 FA Women's National League North, and Portsmouth, winners of the 2023–24 FA Women's National League South. Both these clubs are making their Championship debuts.On 30 June 2024, it was announced Reading had withdrawn from the Championship and would re-enter at the fifth tier, citing financial issues. The FA confirmed the league would instead operate with eleven teams for the season, reducing from two relegation spots to one. The league will return to a twelve team league at the beginning of the 2025–26 season.
