Summary
editThe 2026 season introduced a series of structural and regulatory adjustments designed to strengthen competition and provide clearer pathways for player development.[1]
The season will see a return of promotion and relegation between the Premier League and National League.
The 2026 league champions will be awarded S$25,000. While the prize money remains the same for the champions, the prize money will be revised for the second and third-placed team. The first and second runners-up will receive S$20,000, up from $10,000, and S$17,000, up from $7,500, respectively. [1] All the WPL's matches will be played at Choa Chu Kang Stadium.[2]
The 2026 WPL will feature nine teams competing across 18 match weeks, with matches scheduled to be played at Bukit Gombak Stadium and Choa Chu Kang Stadium. All WPL matches will be live-streamed throughout the season.[1]
The 2026 season will also see the introduction of WPL B-teams to allow WPL clubs to field a developmental squad in the WNL. Clubs may include up to five B-team players in their match-day squad.[2]
On 27 Nov 2025, Albirex Niigata (S) announced that they will change their club name to Albirex Jurong in 2026. Their youth and women’s teams will adopt the new emblem and name from 1 Jan 2026. The 2026 season will mark the club's first season in the WPL under Albirex Jurong.[3][4]
