About

The Northern Super League is Canada’s leading professional women’s soccer league. Launched in 2025, it brings together clubs representing major cities across the country and provides Canadian players with the opportunity to compete professionally at home.

Under its current format, teams compete in a single-table regular season. The four highest-ranked clubs then advance to the playoffs, featuring two-legged semi-finals followed by a single-match final at a neutral venue to determine the Northern Super League champion.
