The Women's Super League 2, also known as Barclays Women's Super League 2 for sponsorship reasons, is a professional football league in England, operated by WSL Football. It is the second-highest division of women's football in England. The division was established in 2014 as the WSL 2 and was later rebranded as the FA Women's Championship prior to the 2018–19 season. "The FA" was subsequently dropped from the league name ahead of the 2022–23 season, prior to new ownership for the 2024–25 season by clubs in the first and second tiers. Before the start of the 2025–26 season, the league was rebranded again under its current name, the Women's Super League 2.

WSL 2 replaced the previous level 2 division, the FA Women's Premier League (WPL) National Division, which ended after the 2012–13 season. The WPL's last national division champions, Sunderland, were not promoted and also became the first winners of WSL 2 in the 2014 season. In addition to Sunderland, other WPL clubs that joined WSL 2 in 2014 were Watford and Aston Villa. From 2014 to 2016, WSL 2 ran a summer-based season calendar before reverting to the winter season in 2017–18, the same as WSL 1. Having sponsored the first tier since the 2019–20 season, 2022–23 marked the first season of Barclays as the title partner of the division.

For the 2023–24 season, changes were made so that two clubs would be relegated from the league allowing two team each from National League North and South to be promoted to the Championship rather than having to play a season end playoff. This change resulted in two teams being relegated from the Championship at the end of the season. No changes were made to promotion from the league to the WSL with still only one promotion and one relegation respectively. For the 2024–25 season, the league was reduced to eleven teams, due to Reading's withdrawal from the Championship, citing financial issues. Ahead of the 2025–26 season, the two relegation spots were introduced again as the league returned to a twelve-team format.
