The Indonesia Women's League (Indonesian: Liga Putri Indonesia) is the top-flight women's football league in Indonesia. Supervised by the PSSI and the I-League, the league is participated by clubs who each field a team in the Super League men's league.[1] The league's inaugural season began on 5 October 2019.[2]

History

On 25 July 2019, during a general assembly meeting with all Liga 1 club representative in Jakarta, Acting Chairperson of PSSI Iwan Budianto announced the formation of the new Liga 1 Putri.[1] From 2006, the Pertiwi Cup was Indonesia's top women's association football competition. However compared to the Liga 1 Putri, the Pertiwi Cup was contested by Indonesian provincial selection teams and not by clubs. The league was formed as a means to aid the selection of players for the Indonesian women's national team and so that the competition between boys and girls is balanced.[3]

Ten teams out of 18 in 2019 Liga 1 teams announced their participation in the inaugural season of Liga 1 Putri: Persija, PSM, Persib, TIRA-Persikabo, Bali United, Arema, PSIS, Persipura, PSS, Persebaya.[1]

However, the Liga 1 women's competition then went on a seven-year hiatus.[4] In July 2026, the top-flight women's competition was rebranded under the new official name Indonesia Women's League.[5] The second season was initially planned for 2027,[6] but the organizers later brought forward this season to 17 October 2026.[7]

Format

There are 6 teams in the league. In the first round, all teams play each other three times. The best four teams advance to semi-finals.[8]
