Scottish Women’s Premier League clubs will form a new league and cup competition which will see elite women’s football become the responsibility of the SPFL from the 2022/23 season. The majority of the 17 SWPL clubs voted in favour of the move, although the exact number of clubs and the format of the league competition are to be agreed over the coming weeks. An independent chair, a managing director and an independent non-executive director will also all be recruited to drive the new body forward in cooperation with the member clubs.

Following months of talks between clubs, the Scottish FA, SPFL and Scottish Women's Football (SWF) clubs will be invited to become members of a new two-tier league competition, with the SPFL also running a new League Cup at the dawn of a new era for the women's game in Scotland.Scottish FA chief executive Ian Maxwell said: "The Scottish FA recently published its bespoke women's football strategy, Accelerate Our Game, and a key pillar of that plan is to take our elite clubs and competitions to the next level. To achieve that we need to optimise the game's governance and structures and the work undertaken by the Scottish FA, SPFL and SWF, and the clubs within the SWPL, has shown the collective desire to take the game forward. SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster said: "Everyone at the SPFL is hugely excited by the prospect of working closely with the SWPL clubs to help increase the competitiveness, profile and income of elite women's football in Scotland.
