The East London Phoenix Women's Premier League team is the University of East London's first sporting franchise in its history. It marks another statement of intent for a programme that over the past decade has evolved from a sporting newcomer to one of the leading dual-career universities in the UK.
We are now pleased to announce the expansion of the East London Phoenix franchise to include two more teams as well as the Women's Premier League. Men's Division 3 National League, and Women's Division 2 National League. This expansion will offer even more opportunities for players and students to develop their skills on and off the court, all within a student-led franchise.
