Blackburn Rovers W.F.C.

The club spent five seasons in the FA Women's Premier League National Division, the highest level of the women's game in England prior to the formation of the Women's Super League in 2011, from 2006 until their relegation at the end of the 2010–11 season. They declined to submit an application to become an inaugural member of the Women's Super League due to their reluctance to split the team from the men's. They have been affiliated with Blackburn Rovers as the women's division since their formation in 1991. It was announced on 20 May 2025, after finishing tenth in the 2024–25 Women's Championship, one spot away from relegation to the FA Women's National League, that Blackburn had withdrawn from the Women's Championship, because the club owner was unwilling to meet the league's requirements on facilities, player welfare and staffing. On 4 June 2025, the club announced that The FA had decided that Blackburn would play in the FA Women’s National League Division One North for the 2025–26 season, dropping from the second to the fourth tier of English football.
