Season overview
The season was played over an extended calendar from 2025 to 2026, featuring a double round-robin format and involving nine clubs from across the country including defending champions ISPE, along with Yangon United, Ayeyawady, Myawady, Thitsar Arman, Shan United, YREO, Yangon City and the Young Lionesses (Myanmar women U-17).
The 2025–26 Myanmar Women's League was played over an extended calendar and included a mid-season transfer period, which ran from 1 November 2025 to 30 November 2025, allowing clubs to register new players and make squad adjustments for the remainder of the season.[3]
The campaign was marked by a closely contested title race, particularly between Ayeyawady and ISPE W.F.C., who emerged as the league's leading sides throughout the season. The championship was ultimately decided in the final fixture, which saw the two teams face each other with the league title at stake.
Heading into the match, Ayeyawady required only a win or a draw to secure the championship and become new Myanmar Women's League champions. ISPE, meanwhile, needed victory to overtake their rivals in the standings. A win for ISPE would have resulted in the club claiming the league title for a fourth time, further extending their status as the most successful team in Myanmar Women's League history.[4] The decisive nature of the final match highlighted the growing competitiveness of the league and underscored the continued development of women's football in Myanmar during the 2025–26 season.
Ayeyawady W.F.C. secured the 2025–26 Myanmar Women's League title, becoming the new champions of the competition after finishing top of the league standings.
