The 2026 edition of the Women's Super League, the premier women's football league in Ecuador, is set to officially start on Saturday, February 28, 2026. The tournament, organized by the Ecuadorian Football Federation (FEF), will feature a match between Dragonas Independiente del Valle, the reigning champions, and Carneras UPS, marking an exciting opening to the season. This is the eighth edition of the championship, with a schedule that will run until August 29, when the final match is expected to take place.

According to Santiago Barragán, a member of the Executive Council of FEF and head of women's football, the exciting new season not only highlights local talent but also coincides with efforts to support the national under-20 team. The classification of this group for the World Cup in Poland was an optimistic factor that influenced the timing of the league's start. Barragán emphasized that the new format and structure are designed to elevate women's football in Ecuador and provide a platform for emerging talents.

As the league commences, it is expected to attract more attention to women's sports in Ecuador and foster a competitive environment among the clubs. The anticipation around the season suggests that fans are eager to see how the teams perform, particularly in light of the renewed commitment to promoting women's football in the region. With a robust calendar and a focus on integrating talented players from the under-20 squad, this season promises to be both competitive and crucial for the development of women's football in the country.
