The 2024–25 season of the Scottish Women's Premier League (2024–25 SWPL), also known as ScottishPower Women's Premier League for sponsorship reasons, is the 24th iteration of the top-tier Scottish women's football league, and the 3rd season organised by the SPFL.
The 2024–25 season began with the defending champions Celtic[1] hosting Dundee United on 10 August 2024. The final matchday of the regular season is scheduled for 2 March 2025[2] and the last post-split matchday (32nd game overall) is scheduled for 18 May 2025.[3]
Due to the format changes planned for the 2025–26 season, which will bring the number of teams in both SWPL and SWPL 2 to 10, the 2024–25 season is transitional. The competition format remains unchanged, but there will be no relegation play-off and the three lowest-ranked teams are directly relegated to 2025–26 SWPL 2.[4][5]
