The 2024 Women's Premier League (also known as the Deloitte Women's Premier League due to sponsorship reasons with Deloitte) was the 5th season of the Women's Premier League and the 23rd season of the top-flight women's football league in Singapore. The season began on 9 March 2024.
Summary Nine teams participated in the 2024 season, following the withdrawal of Police Sports Association. The league champions will receive S$25,000, while the second and third-placed teams will receive S$10,000 and S$7,500 respectively. All the WPL's matches were to be played at Choa Chu Kang Stadium. Like previous season, admission to all matches is free to the public. From 23 March, Choa Chu Kang Stadium was closed for maintenance after complaints of poor pitch conditions. Matches were temporarily played at Jalan Besar Stadium. It was announced that matches from 14 April onwards would be played at two venues, Choa Chu Kang Stadium and ITE College East, with one matchday at each venue. There were some concerns that Geylang International has a home advantage as the team trained there.
Albirex Niigata (S)’s 2023 WPL Player of the Year and Golden Boot winner Kana Kitahara assumed a dual player-coach role for their women's team. Lion City Sailors promoted goalkeeping coach Daniel Ong to take over from Yeong Sheau Shyan, who led the side to back-to-back undefeated campaigns and was WPL Coach of the Year in 2022 and 2023. Lion City Sailors won their third consecutive title after a 6-0 victory over Still Aerion.
Teams A total of 9 teams competed in the league.
