The Latvian Women's League (Latvian: Sieviešu futbola līga) is the top level women's football league of Latvia.
The winning team of the league qualifies for a spot in the UEFA Women's Champions League. As participation is optional, no Latvian team competed in the competition until 2011/12 when SK Liepājas Metalurgs entered European territory.[1]
In the 2024 season, the Latvian Women's Football League featured 8 teams from 4 different Latvian cities.[2] This was also the first season where the league secured a title sponsor, making its full name the LuckyBet Women's Football League (LuckyBet Sieviešu futbola līga).[3]
