2025 RFL Women's Championship

In December 2024, the RFL announced that the Northern Championship would be expanded with Cardiff Demons and London Broncos transferring from the Southern Championship. Hull FC and Swinton Lionesses moving up from League One in the place of Stanningley would have resulted in a 12-team competition.^[4][5] However, the withdrawal of Dewsbury Moor meant that only 11 teams started the season.^[1]

The 2025 RFL Northern Championship began on 23 March and the regular season concluded on 31 August. The play-offs were originally intended to include a relegation/promotion play-off between the winner of the Northern Women's Championship and the last-placed team of the 2025 Super League. However, as Warrington Wolves were unable to fulfil their remaining Super League fixtures of the season, the RFL announced on 5 September that winner of the Northern Championship would be directly promoted to the 2026 Super League with Warrington facing an enforced relegation subject to the Championship side meeting the required competition standards.^[6] On 28 September, Featherstone Rovers defeated the league leaders, London Broncos, 20-10 in the Grand Final.^[7]
