Today it was announced that Canada’s highly anticipated professional women’s soccer league will be called the Northern Super League (NSL). Diana Matheson, CEO and Co-Founder of Project 8, confirmed that clubs based in Ottawa and Montreal will join previously announced franchises in Halifax, Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver.
NSL Northern Super League
“We are thrilled to announce this update to soccer fans across Canada as we take a big step toward our season opener in April 2025,” said Matheson. “After years without a professional women’s domestic soccer league, the Northern Super League and its six founding clubs will fill a significant void in Canada and bring about meaningful change coast to coast. We are proud to launch with a name that will instill pride in all those who play and love the game. With a brand that is fresh, we welcome all who want to be a part of this exciting moment in Canadian sports history.”
About the League
All six Northern Super League clubs are owned and operated by independent ownership groups.
The Northern Super League will feature a 25-game regular season schedule followed by playoffs and a National Championship in Fall 2025.
All clubs will operate with a salary cap structure and minimum salaries aligned with established leagues worldwide.
While creating a home for Canadian players remains a key focus, the Northern Super League will also feature world-class international talent to help elevate the overall quality of play and drive further development.
The Northern Super League will kick off its inaugural season in April 2025 with six founding clubs from key markets nationwide. Follow the NSL on Facebook and Instagram for updates and info.
