This is the second season since the Premier League was split into two division of eight teams each. Effectively reducing the top-level teams from 12 to 8. The change was made to increase competitiveness in the league. The divisions are named SWPL 1 and SWPL 2. Switzerland pushed Scotland out of the top 12 associations in the UEFA coefficient ranking, so this season again only the champion qualifies to the Champions League.
