The Gainbridge Super League (formerly the USL Super League) is a professional women’s soccer league which kicked off in August 2024. The Gainbridge Super League has committed to U.S. Soccer’s Division One standards, reflecting its collective vision to be a global leader in women’s soccer on and off the field while providing more opportunities for more women in more communities. The inaugural 2024/25 season featured eight teams, and has expanded to nine for the 2025/26 season.

The league’s inaugural season kicked off on August 17th, 2024 when Carolina Ascent FC hosted DC Power FC.

The Gainbridge Super League’s standing as a first division league reflects a commitment to operating at the highest possible standards for women’s soccer in America and a collective vision to be a global leader in women’s soccer on and off the field. The Gainbridge Super League follows U.S. Soccer’s sanctioning process.

The Gainbridge Super League is the only American soccer league aligned with the global game’s traditional club calendar, running from August to June. This calendar prioritizes the fan experience, on-field competition, and commercial opportunities, ensuring players are easily able to represent both club and country, and facilitating Gainbridge Super League clubs’ participation in the emerging global women’s transfer market. 

The Gainbridge Super League sits at the top the USL’s distinct youth-to-pro women’s pathway. The complete pathway includes the USL W League, the leading pre-professional women’s soccer league in the United States; the USL Academy, an advanced talent-development platform connected to professional and pre-professional USL clubs; and the Super Y League, a premier national youth competition.
