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the 2024–25 Women's Championship, one spot away from relegation to the FA Women's National League, that Blackburn had withdrawn from the Women's Championship, because the club owner was unwilling to meet the league's requirements on facilities, player welfare and staffing.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.
