SINGAPORE – The 2026 Women’s Premier League (WPL) will kick off on Jan 24 with a slew of changes, including a larger prize purse, the return of a promotion-relegation system and the introduction of WPL’s B teams in the second-tier Women’s National League (WNL).
While the champions of the nine-team league will still get $25,000, the runners-up will now receive $20,000 – up from $10,000 – with the third-placed side earning $17,000, more than double last season’s $7,500, said the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) in a media statement on Jan 13.
To strengthen the pipeline of players coming through, WPL clubs will also be allowed to field a developmental B team in the second division.
While these sister sides are not eligible for promotion, WPL clubs can include up to five B-team players in their match-day squads.
