2020–21 Scottish Women's Premier League
The 2020–21 Scottish Women's Premier League, known as the Scottish Building Society Scottish Women's Premier League for sponsorship reasons,[1] is due to be the 20th season of the Scottish Women's Premier League, the highest division of women's association football in Scotland since its inception in 2002. The league is split into two divisions - SWPL 1 with eight teams and SWPL 2 with 10 teams.[2] Glasgow City are the defending champions, having won the last completed championship in 2019. The 2020 season was interrupted by the coronavirus pandemic and was subsequently declared null and void. Following this cancellation, the league reverted to a winter season format and is due to start in October 2020 and end in June 2021.[3]
