Charlton Athletic Women currently occupy second place in the Women's Championship, following a run of form that has placed them in contention for promotion to the top flight. The south London club trails league leaders Sunderland by two points, according to the Football Association. Karen Hills' side has lost only three league fixtures during the current 2025-26 campaign.
