FA Women's National League South
The FA Women's National League South is a league in the third level in the women's football pyramid in England, along with the Northern division. These two divisions are part of the FA Women's National League and below the Women's Super League and Women's Championship.

The bottom two clubs are relegated, also on a geographical basis, to the Division One South West, and Division One South East.

This change resulted in two teams being relegated from the Championship at the end of the season. Southern Premier Division teams are eligible to play in the Women's Natio ...
