WSL Football has confirmed that the second-tier team will host the Women's Super League promotion play-off match on 23 May.

The Women's Super League promotion play-off will take place at the home ground of the second-tier side on Saturday, 23 May. Kick-off is scheduled for 12:30 BST, according to WSL Football. This fixture determines which club secures a place in the top flight for the following season.

Organisers have moved the match from a neutral venue to the home stadium of the WSL 2 representative. The decision aims to support the growth of the women's game and provide a familiar environment for the host club. Tickets for the encounter will go on sale later this month, per a statement from the league.

Current league standings show high competition for the play-off spot as the season nears its conclusion. Under the current format, the winner of this single-leg tie earns promotion to the Women's Super League. Match officials and broadcast details will be announced closer to the event, according to Sky Sports. The league remains focused on increasing attendance figures across both professional tiers.
