The 2026–27 Saudi Women's Premier League is the upcoming fifth season of the Saudi Women's Premier League (SWPL), the top division of women's football in Saudi Arabia.
Al-Nassr are the defending champions, having won every league title since the competition's inception.
Teams After being reduced to eight teams in the previous season following the withdrawal of several clubs', the league returned to a 10-team format for this season. Seven clubs retained their places, while Al-Taraji, Al-Nahda, and Al-Amal were promoted from the 2025–26 First Division League after finishing as the top three teams. Al-Taraji and Al-Amal returned to the top flight after a one-season absence. The three promoted clubs replaced Eastern Flames, who were relegated for the first time since the league's inception. Two of the three promoted clubs withdrew before the season's fixtures were released due to financial difficulties, reducing the field to eight teams.
