Women’s Super League 2 players are now eligible for Professional Footballers’ Association membership after the second tier became fully professional.
The PFA is the players’ union and grants access to services including support and representation for issues relating to contracts, rights and conditions.
After rebranding from the Women’s Championship to the WSL2 for the 2025-26 season, all 12 clubs are running on a full-time professional basis.
England is the only country with two professional women’s leagues.
“Support for our members in the women’s game is at the heart of what the PFA does, and we’re pleased to be able to welcome players from a fully professional WSL2 at such a vital time for the women’s game,” said PFA CEO Maheta Molango.
