The Football Association (FA) has unveiled proposals for major changes to the Women’s National League, including the introduction of four Women’s Super League (WSL) academy teams into the third tier starting in 2027. This initiative aims to enhance the league's competitiveness and attract more fans and media attention. A £1 million investment package is also on the table, which includes a £500,000 distribution grant for prize money at tiers three and four, and additional funds expected from title sponsorship. The league structure will see a mid-season split into three groups after 13 rounds, with the top two teams from the premier group promoted to WSL2. The proposals have not yet been ratified but reflect the FA's commitment to improving the women's football pyramid in England. The third tier will expand from 24 to 28 teams, maintaining two geographical regions, and will include two Pro Game Academies (PGAs) in each region. The FA aims to create better development opportunities for young English players as part of these changes.
