The WPSL started as the Western Division of theW-League , before breaking away to form its own league in 1998. The league is sanctioned by theUnited States Adult Soccer Association ,[ 2] an affiliate of theUnited States Soccer Federation (USSF).[ 3] WPSL teams feature collegiate and post-collegiate players, who currently or previously played across all divisions of theNCAA ,NAIA , andNJCAA .

Notable alumnae includeBrandi Chastain ,Kristine Lilly ,Heather Mitts ,Julie Foudy ,Shannon Boxx ,Alex Morgan andLeslie Osborne .[ 1] The Jerry Zanelli Cup is awarded to the champion of each WPSL season.[ 4]
WhenWomen's Professional Soccer (WPS) suspended play in 2012, WPSL moved forward with its ambitions toward professionalism and created theWPSL Elite League .[ 5] The Elite League was apro-am league, with at least four fully professional teams, including three former WPS teams. The Elite league operated for just the 2012 season, disbanding in 2013 with the formation of the NWSL, which the three former WPS teams joined.[ 1]
In 2021, the WPSL announced its second division, WPSL U21, which is scheduled to begin play in mid-2021.[ 6] In September 2024, WPSL announced a change to the WPSL U21 program, evolving it to the WPSL Division II, which provides a pathway for higher developmental opportunities. The new division is set to launch in 2025, with an emphasis on competition and standards through a fully connected developmental program.[ 7]
On February 8, 2023, WPSL announced plans to create a Division III professional league namedWPSL PRO .
