The USL Super League (USLS), officially known as the Gainbridge Super League for sponsorship reasons, is a professional women's soccer league at the highest level of the United States soccer league system, alongside the National Women's Soccer League. Organized by the United Soccer League (USL), it operates as its premier league for women above the pre-professional USL W League. It began play with the 2024–25 season.
The league consists of nine clubs who annually play four round-robins – two in the fall and two in the spring – to earn four places in a playoff tournament that determines the league's champion. Additional clubs are expected to join the league in the future. Clubs in the league have no cap on salaries or squad sizes, while minimum salaries are around US$35,000 to 37,000. There is no draft system, and squads are primarily built with free agents. The league's matches are streamed nationally on Peacock.
The USLS was established in September 2021 as part of an effort to develop a youth-to-pro pathway for women's players within the USL system. Initially planned as a division two league, numerous USL clubs explored fielding women's teams in the league, with eight markets being decided upon. The USL would later successfully seek division one sanctioning by U.S. Soccer, marking the first time that two leagues occupied the top tier of the United States women's soccer league system. As of the 2024–25 season, Tampa Bay Sun FC are the current champions, while Carolina Ascent FC are the current Players' Shield holders.
Embarking on the creation of a full pathway for women's soccer within their system, the United Soccer League (USL) established a professional women's league in 2021, and publicly unveiled it as the USL Super League in September of that year. Amanda Vandervort, former Chief Women's Football Officer for FIFPro, was appointed as the league's first president. In the wake of the unveiling, D.C. United, Lane United FC, Memphis 901 FC, Real Central New Jersey, USL New Orleans, and Santa Barbara Sky FC expressed interest in entering the Super League.
In May 2023, the USL awarded Super League franchise rights to Carolina Ascent FC, Dallas Trinity FC, DC Power FC, FC Tucson, Lexington SC, Phoenix Rising FC, Spokane Zephyr FC, and Tampa Bay Sun FC for the inaugural season; and Chattanooga Red Wolves SC, Forward Madison, Indy Eleven, Oakland Soul SC, and Sporting Club Jacksonville for later seasons. FC Tucson and the Rising would later forfeit their franchise rights, citing unpreparedness for professional play. Brooklyn FC and Fort Lauderdale United gained entry into the league in their place. U.S. Soccer granted the Super League its Division I sanctioning in February 2024, alongside the National Women's Soccer League. The league's inaugural season kicked off on August 17, 2024 with two matches: an Ascent home victory against the power during which Vicky Bruce scored the league's first goal, and a Zephyr home tie with Fort Lauderdale.
