Mercedes-Benz named official automotive partner of WSL Football

Mercedes-Benz is the new official automotive partner of WSL Football, covering both the Barclays Women’s Super League (Barclays WSL) and Barclays Women’s Super League 2 (Barclays WSL2).

The “exclusive multi-year partnership” comes into effect from today, 7th January 2026.

The Barclays WSL and Barclays WSL2 are the top two tiers of women’s football in England. The 2025-2026 season, contested by 12 clubs in each league, run from September 2025 to May 2026. At the end of each season the top three teams from the Barclays WSL qualify for the UEFA Women’s Champions League.

As part of this partnership, Mercedes-Benz also becomes the presenting partner of the first ever play-off match. For this season, the third-placed Barclays WSL2 club could secure promotion to the top tier if they beat the club that finishes bottom of the Barclays WSL.
