The 2025–26 National League 2 West is the fourth season of the fourth-tier (west) of the English domestic rugby union competitions; one of three at this level. The others are National League 2 East and National League 2 North.

Syston were the first side to be relegated on 21 March 2026 with three games still to play, a 22 – 54 defeat away to Hornets, marking an return to level 5 after just one season.

Structure

The league consists of fourteen teams who play the others on a home and away basis, to make a total of 26 matches each. The champions are promoted to National League 1 while the runners up go into a four team National 2 playoffs with the runners up from National League 2 North and National League 2 East and the 11th placed side in National League 1.[1]

The bottom two teams are relegated to either Regional 1 Midlands or Regional 1 South West while the 12th placed side go into the four team Regional 1 playoffs with the 12th placed sides from National 2 East and National 2 North, as well as the Regional 1 playoff winners.[2]

The results of the matches contribute points to the league as follows:

  • 4 points are awarded for a win
  • 2 points are awarded for a draw
  • 0 points are awarded for a loss, however
  • 1 losing (bonus) point is awarded to a team that loses a match by 7 points or fewer
  • 1 additional (bonus) point is awarded to a team scoring 4 tries or more in a match.

Participating teams and locations

Ten of the fourteen teams participated in last season's competition, with the champions, Clifton promoted to National League 1. There was no relegation from National League 1 partly due to Champ Rugby increasing the number of teams from 12 to 14 and also the geographical location of the two relegated teams.

Departing were Bournville (13th) and Devonport Services (14th), relegated to Regional 1 Midlands and Regional 1 South West respectively.

Joining the league are the Barnstaple, champions of Regional 1 South West, and Syston winners of Regional 1 Midlands.

After one season Macclesfield (11th) were level transferred to National League 2 North, while both Lymm (3rd) and Chester (9th) joined from the North league.
