The 2023 PFF Women's League season (also known as the Coca-Cola PFF Women’s League for sponsorship reasons) is the fourth season of the women's national league of the Philippines following the 2019–20 season.[1]

De La Salle University, which topped the 2019–20 season league table, are the defending champions. The Far Eastern University meanwhile are entering the season as the 2022 PFF Women's Cup winners.[2] With De La Salle eliminated in the semifinals for this 2023 season, there will be a new champion.[3][4]

The league has got sponsorship from Coca-Cola in July 2023.[5]

Format

Initially planned to be a double round-robin format,[2] the league changed to a single round-robin with the top four teams entering a knockout tournament to determine the league's champion.[6]

The elimination round lasted from June 24[7][8] to September 17, 2023.[9] The knockout round started on September 27[10] and will end with the final on November 8, 2023.[4]

Teams

10 teams participate in the fourth season, with Azzurri and Manila Digger making their debuts.[1] Azzurri already participated in the 2022 PFF Women's Cup. 2019–20 season participants Maroons, Tigers, and Green Archers United did not enter.

Stadiums

All league matches are held at the PFF National Training Center in Carmona, Cavite, approximately 6.70 kilometers (4.16 mi) south of Metro Manila. Some are hosted at the Rizal Memorial Stadium.

The PFF National Training Center will serve as the primary venue.
