The Women’s Championship will become the Women’s Super League 2 from the start of the 2025-26 season as part of a major rebrand of women’s professional football in England.

On Thursday Women’s Professional Leagues Limited (WPLL) – the company that oversees the top two divisions in women’s football – unveiled new names, emblems and a new visual identity.

WPLL also announced a company name change to Women’s Super League Football (WSL Football) with immediate affect.

It is the first major change WSL Football has made since it assumed control of the top two tiers from the Football Association in August 2024.

WSL Football said its new brand identity is “born from the movement of female footballers”, with the new visual identity including “living emblems, colour systems and league and company word marks which have been inspired by on-pitch movement”.

WSL Football chief marketing officer Ruth Hooper said: “There is a lot more in store over the coming months as we continue to grow the women’s game for the future.”

The WSL drew to a conclusion on Saturday with Chelsea crowned champions for a sixth consecutive season and Crystal Palace relegated to the second tier.
