West Brom Women are set to play their home games at the 17,500 seater Alexander Stadium.
Siobhan Hodgetts-Still's side are set to soon kick off their FAWNL Northern Premier League Division campaign.
And ahead of the new season the club have confirmed that the stadium, that played host to the 2022 Commonwealth Games, will be the new home of the women's team.
Sporting director Andrew Nestor said: "This is another significant step forward for our women’s football programme.
“We are committed to the advancement of our women's first team, and this is a crucial component for the club's progression.
"This venue move will ensure our players and coaches are working in top-class facilities at home fixtures, and that our supporters enjoy a vibrant and welcoming match day experience within our local community.
"I want to make special mention to all our women's first team leadership and club staff and thank them for their work in securing this stadium partnership. We look forward to welcoming our fans to the Alexander Stadium.”
Manager Hodgetts-Still believes the move underlines the commitment the club's owners have towards the women's set up at Albion.
She added: “It’s a really great venue to be playing our games at this season.”
"It brings us much closer to our area, which will hopefully continue to grow our fanbase.
“And it also shows the ambition of the ownership group and the football club, in terms of the direction we believe we’re heading.”
