The English Women's Super League (WSL) will expand from 12 to 14 teams from the 2026-27 season, WSL Football said on Monday, and a promotion/relegation playoff will be introduced.

LONDON (AP) — The top women’s soccer league in England is set to expand from 12 to 14 teams for the 2026-27 season. Women’s Super League clubs voted Monday for the change that still requires approval from the Football Association board.

Women’s Super League clubs have voted to expand the top-flight from 12 to 14 teams from the 2026/27 season. The top two teams will be promoted from WSL 2 next season, while a play-off will be contested between the third-placed team and the side that finishes bottom in the WSL to make up the 14 clubs.
