The '''2024–25 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 Scottish top-tier [[women's association football|women's football]] league, and the 3rd season organised by [[Scottish Professional Football League|SPFL]].


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 [[Women's football in Scotland|Scottish women's football]] league, and the 3rd season organised by the [[Scottish Professional Football League|SPFL]].
The 2024–25 season begins with the defending champions [[Celtic F.C. Women|Celtic]] hosting [[Dundee United W.F.C.|Dundee United]] on 10 August 2024. The final matchday of the regular season is scheduled for 2 March 2025.<ref name=schedule/><ref name=def_champ/>

Due to the format changes planned for the 2025–26 season, which would bring the number of teams in both [[Scottish Women's Premier League|SWPL]] and [[Scottish Women's Premier League|SWPL 2]] to 10, the 2024–25 season is a transition one. The competition format remains unchanged, but there will be no relegation play-off in the 2024–25 season and the three lowest-ranked teams are directly relegated to [[2025–26 Scottish Women's Premier League 2|2025–26 SWPL 2]].<ref name=format/>

All statistics correct as of 15 December 2024.

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]
