National League 2 West is a new rugby union league at level four in the English rugby union system and provides semi-professional competition for teams in the Midlands and South West England. The remainder of England is covered by two other regional leagues; National League 2 East and National League 2 North.[1] The champion club is promoted to National One. The last two teams are relegated to either Regional 1 Midlands or Regional 1 South West.[citation needed]
Leicester Lions became champions, with three matches to spare, following their 33 – 5 win over Loughborough Students on 25 March 2023.[2] Barnstaple and Stourbridge are relegated to a level five league next season.
