2015 FA WSL

Chelsea became the title winners and together with Manchester City (who finished as runners-up) qualified for the 2016–17 UEFA Women's Champions League.

As part of a two-year expansion plan, the WSL 1 will increase to nine teams for the 2016 season.

Sunderland earned promotion last season after they won WSL 2 and met off-field licensing requirements.

The first match was played on 21 July 2015, after the WSL break for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup.
