The 2025–26 season was the 36th season in the history of Sunderland A.F.C. Women and their fifth consecutive season in the Women's Super League 2 , and their first since the league reverted back to the WSL 2 name. The club participated in the Women's Super League 2 , the Women's FA Cup , and the Women's League Cup . In the first half of the season the team struggled with inconsistent form. Following a strong start where they picked up eight points from the first four games, the team only picked up another two points over the next seven fixtures. By the halfway point of the season, Sunderland sat in eighth place, in the lower half of the league, with negative goal difference and having suffered a bruising loss in the Tyne–Wear derby to Newcastle United . [ 1 ] In the second half of the season, the Lasses continued to struggle with inconsistent form. Despite going five home games unbeaten during the backend of the season, a failure to turn draws into wins resulted in an 8th-place finish. On 7th April 2026, it was announced that multi-club ownership organisation Bay Collective had reached an agreement to acquire a majority stake in Sunderland Women.
