BWSL & BWSL2 Transfer Window Round-up
With the second and final transfer window of the 2025/26 season now closed, squads are officially set for the run-in to the campaign.
January proved to be a particularly busy period across both divisions, so we’ve created a new Transfer Tracker for the BWSL and BWSL2. It includes all confirmed summer business alongside every arrival and departure from the winter window, giving a complete picture of how squads now shape up heading into the final stretch of the season.
