FV Head of Competitions Jimmy Whitehead said the 2027 calendar provides clubs and participants with greater clarity as they prepare for the season ahead.
“2027 will be an exciting year for senior women’s football, with the introduction of the new Senior Women’s Community League alongside a clearer structure across the NPLW, VPLW and State Leagues,” he said.
“The new structure has been shaped by extensive feedback from our clubs and participants and provides greater clarity around the different pathways available while creating more opportunities for players to enjoy football at a level that suits them.”
