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. This was the second season since the WSL 2 was introduced. As part of a two-year expansion plan, the WSL 1 will increase to nine teams for the 2016 season. By the end of the 2015 season two teams (Reading and Doncaster Rovers Belles) were promoted from WSL 2 to WSL 1 and only one team (Bristol Academy) relegated to WSL 2, with one team being promoted from Premier League to WSL 2. Sunderland earned promotion last season after they won WSL 2 and met off-field licensing requirements. Everton were relegated. Background In December 2014, the FA WSL announced a two-year plan to expand WSL 1 from an eight to 10-team league. Two teams will be promoted from WSL 2, while one team will be relegated to WSL 2.http://www.fawsl.com/news/fa_wsl_2_promotion_announcement.html FA WSL 2 promotion announcement Faws1.com 18 December 2014 20 April 2018 https://web.archive.org/web/20180420010456/http://www.fawsl.com/news/fa_wsl_2_promotion_announcement.html livehttps://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/30298483 BBC Sport – Women's Super League to be expanded from 2015 BBC Sport 18 December 2014 4 December 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20141204065923/http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30298483 live Also, for the first time, a team from the FA Women's Premier League earned promotion to WSL 2, effectively connecting the WSL to the rest of the English women's football pyramid.https://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/32867783 Sheffield FC beat Portsmouth in Women's Premier League play-off BBC 24 May 2015 29 July 2015 24 September 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20150924223810/http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/32867783 live This will leave WSL 1 with nine teams and WSL 2 with 10 teams for the 2016 season, and with the process repeated the following year, both WSL 1 and WSL 2 will have 10 teams each for the 2017 season.
