The 2026 RFL Women's Super League (also known as the Betfred Women's Super League for sponsorship reasons) is the tenth season of the Women's Super League, for female players in clubs affiliated to the Rugby Football League (RFL).
The competition, which will begin on 16 May, will have 13 rounds starting with each team playing each other once before a mid-season split into two groups of four, after which teams will play the three teams in their half of the table twice more. After round 13, the League Leaders' Shield will be awarded to the team in first place in the top four group who will qualify for the grand final against the winner of a semi-final between the teams finishing second and third. The team finishing last in the bottom four group will face the winners of the 2026 Championship in a promotion/relegation play-off.[1][2]
The eight clubs in the 2026 Super League are all from Northern England. Seven teams from the 2025 Super League are joined by Featherstone Rovers who, after winning the 2025 Championship, replaced Warrington Wolves.[2][3]
