The Myanmar Women's League (MWL) () is a Myanmar professional league for women's football, contested by 10 clubs. Since 2016 it has been sponsored by the Kanbawza Bank, and are thus billed as the KBZ Bank Women's League.
History The Myanmar Women's League (MWL) was officially established in 2016. Its creation marked a significant milestone for women's sports in the country, providing a structured and competitive environment for female athletes. The league was founded with seven teams and was sponsored by Kanbawza Bank. In its early years, the MWL saw a strong rivalry develop between its top teams. Myawady dominated the first two seasons, winning both the 2016–17 and 2017-18 titles. The competition intensified in the 2018-19 season when ISPE broke Myawady's winning streak to claim their first championship.
A new chapter in the league’s history emerged in the 2025–26 season, when Ayeyawady W.F.C. won the MWL title for the first time, highlighting the growing competitiveness and evolving balance of power within the league.
