The Football Association Women's Super League 2 (FA WSL 2) is the second-highest division of women's football in England.
WSL 2 was founded in 2014 and 10 teams compete in it. There is currently no relegation from the WSL 2 to the FA Women's Premier League in place. However, two teams are promoted to the FA WSL 1 per season.
The league was played in summer between April and October until the 2016 season. WSL 1 and 2 became winter leagues from 2017–18, playing from September to May.
For the 2014 season the WSL was expanded to create a second division with 9 new teams added and one team being relegated from the WSL 1. WSL 1 remains as 8 teams, with one new team inserted, with the WSL 2 having 10 teams. The new WSL 1 licence was awarded to Manchester City. Doncaster Rovers Belles were relegated to the 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 10-team league. Two teams will be promoted from WSL 2, while one team will be relegated to WSL 2. Also, for the first time, a team from the FA Women's Premier League earned promotion to WSL 2, effectively connecting the WSL to the rest of the English women's football pyramid.
