SWPL 1 – 21-22

SWPL 1 is the top level of women’s football in Scotland.

It contains ten clubs who will play each other three times to give a league programme of twenty-seven matches.   Prior to the COVID pandemic, SWPL was a summer league, but after the 2020 season was completed in the summer of 2021, a new winter season was scheduled.

Forfar Farmington pulled out of the league shortly before the opening fixtures and their place was taken by Partick Thistle, who were promoted from SWPL2.

Glasgow City are the defending champions – indeed they have won the last 14 titles.

2021-22 COMPETITION

Competing clubs:  Aberdeen, Celtic, Glasgow City, Hamilton Accies, Heart of Midlothian, Hibernian, Motherwell, Partick Thistle, Rangers, Spartans
