Serbian Championship. SuperLiga. Women
The Serbian Women's SuperLiga is the top tier of women's football in Serbia. It features the country's elite clubs competing for the national title and spots in European competitions, showcasing the rising prominence of women's soccer amid increasing fan engagement and infrastructure improvements.
History and foundation
Established in 1992 following the breakup of Yugoslavia, the league evolved from the Yugoslav championship. Early dominance came from Belgrade sides like Crvena Zvezda and Spartak Subotica. Spartak Subotica reigned supreme in the 2000s, securing 10 consecutive titles from 2002 to 2011. A milestone was reached in 2017 when Serbian teams qualified for the UEFA Women's Champions League group stages. Reforms in the 2010s boosted competitiveness.

The league operates on a double round-robin format with 10 teams playing 36 matches each—home and away. The top team claims the championship; the bottom two are relegated to the Second League. Since 2020, playoffs determine European qualifiers among the top four. The season runs from August to May.
