Women's Super League 2

Crystal Palace Women

Welcome back Palace fans! The 2025/26 Barclays Women's Super League 2 season is underway, and here is what you can expect on matchday!

Back the Eagles

Last May, it was announced that [Crystal Palace Women would be competing in the newly-named Women's Super League 2.](https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/announcement/palace-women-to-compete-in-newly-named-wsl2-from-2025-26/)

Along with a new name - the WSL2 has a new structure for this season. 

In previous years, only the top team would earn promotion to the Women's Super League,  this was how Palace earned WSL promotion in the 2023/24 season.

However, for this season only, up to three teams can go up - making this a totally unique campaign for Jo Potter's side.

#### **Who gets promoted to the WSL this season?**

- Like previous years, the first-place side will earn automatic promotion to the WSL.
- The second-place team will also earn automatic promotion to the topflight.
- The third-place team will contest a playoff game against the bottom side in the WSL, with the winner taking the last spot in the topflight.

The 2025/26 format is unique to this campaign, as from the 2026/27 season onwards - the second-place team will contest the playoff against the 13th-place WSL side.

This means the WSL will have 14 teams instead of 12 from the 2026/27 season.

#### **What do Palace need to do?**

Following Sunday's 3-2 win over Charlton at Selhurst park, Palace Women are now in third-place with 35 points - the promotion playoff position.

Charlton currently sit in first-place, six points ahead of Palace on 41 points.

Barring a significant goal difference swing, Palace won't be able to climb any higher in the table this weekend - with second-place Birmingham City on 38 points with a +11 goal difference.

Fourth-place Newcastle United and fifth-place Bristol City find themselves on 32 and 30 points respectively.

**If Palace win all three of their remaining games**, they will guarantee a promotion playoff spot as a minimum.

**To catch Birmingham**, Palace will need to win all three games and hope the Blues drop points in two of their final three games.

**To catch Charlton**, Palace will need to win all three games and hope Charlton lose their two remaining three games.

It's all set to be a dramatic final day - as Palace host 12th-place Portsmouth, whilst Charlton take on Birmingham at home.

**Palace will host 11th-place Ipswich Town at the VBS Community Stadium this Sunday (5th April) at 14:00 BST - click the button below to join them as they fight for promotion!**

The final round of fixtures in the WSL2 have been confirmed to take place on Saturday 2nd May with all matches kicking off at 15:00 and available to watch on YouTube.

As a reminder, the teams that finish first and second are automatically promoted - whilst the team who finishes third has an opportunity to take the final Barclays WSL spot if they win the Play Off against the 12th placed Barclays WSL team, a new feature for this season.  

Palace currently occupy that third-spot, and will host Portsmouth in the final game of the regular season at the VBS Community Stadium on Saturday 2nd May.

Should Palace finish the season in third, they will then contest the Play Off with the 12th-place WSL team - read below the find out the details.

Only six games remain in the Barclays Women's Super League 2, and Palace find themselves in third-place.

This would not be enough for promotion in seasons gone by, but up to three teams can get promoted this season as a result of the WSL's expansion to 14 teams from next season.

The first and second-place teams will earn automatic promotion, whilst the third-place team will contest a play-off against the team that finishes last in the WSL.

**With the Eagles already in third, and just one point behind second-place - now is the perfect time to get down to the VBS and cheer the team on!**

Palace are coming into form at the perfect time as well, with the Eagles having won seven of their last eight games in the league.

Most recently, Palace went away to second-place Birmingham and won 3-1 - [courtesy of goals from Annabel Blanchard, Abbie Larkin and Elise Hughes.](https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/women/report-palace-women-go-third-with-huge-win-against-birmingham/)

Their next game is on Sunday, 15th March - where they take on Nottingham Forest at the VBS Community Stadium, and a win could see the Eagles climb to second-place.

Just two weeks later and Palace Women will host first-place Charlton Athletic at Selhurst Park, in what is set to be a decisive clash in the race for promotion.
