美国女子足球超级联赛

美国女子足球超级联赛（USL Super League，缩写：USLS）是美国最高级别的职业女子足球联赛之一，等级与国家女子足球联赛（NWSL）相同。本联赛由（USL）管辖。赛季于每年秋季开始至隔年春季结束，首赛季共有8支参赛队伍，每队将进行14场双回合循环赛，最终积分排行榜前四位队伍可晋级季后赛以角逐联赛冠军。本联赛所有俱乐部均无限制阵容人数，也没有对球员设定，每位球员最低薪资约为35,000至37,000美元。本联赛不同于其他北美职业体育联赛拥有球员选秀系统，所有队伍均由自由球员组成。联赛目前唯一的转播平台为Peacock。 
本联赛成立于2021年9月，最初成立目的是为了让USL青年联赛的女子球员能一路升上同一系统的职业联赛。联赛原本预计打造为第二级别的职业联赛，最后在美国足球协会的许可之下成为第一级别职业联赛，让美国女子足球同时存在两个最高级别的职业联赛系统。
In May 2022, United Soccer League announced that the Super League schedule will align with the "women’s international soccer calendar" with seasons running from August to June in order to "drive increased value." To attempt to avoid the worst of winter weather, a mid-season break is planned. The league said it planned to field 12 teams in the inaugural season.
On January 31, 2022, MLS club D.C. United reversed their decision in establishing a club for the inaugural USL W League 2022 season, instead reportedly looking to join the USLS in the future. On July 12, 2022, Santa Barbara Sky was announced as a USL expansion club, aiming to have a professional men's team in USL League One and a professional women's team. On July 14, 2022, the USL announced a partnership with USL NOLA, a group which aims to bring a USL Championship team to the city by 2025 and a USLS team to New Orleans, Louisiana in the future. On August 30, 2022, the USL announced that the JAXUSL ownership and executive group had acquired the rights to a USL Championship franchise in Jacksonville, Florida, to begin play by 2025 and a USLS team to begin play in the future. On October 18, 2022, USL Championship club Memphis 901 FC announced their intentions to construct a new soccer-specific stadium and accompanying training facilities that would host their men's team and a potential professional women's soccer team. On November 7, 2022, USL League Two club Real Central New Jersey announced that they and the USL were exploring the establishment of a team in the Super League.

On May 16, 2023, USL Super League announced the initial eight markets that would be participating in their inaugural season, with an additional five that would be joining in later seasons, pending stadium projects. They also announced that they would be intending to launch as a first division league, as opposed to second division as had been previously announced. The proposed divisional change would increase the minimum costs and standards for teams, market sizes, and staff, and would make the USL Super League the second top-division professional women's soccer league in the United States alongside the National Women's Soccer League.
In February 2024, the Super League announced that it had been granted Division I status by U.S. Soccer. It also announced that a club based in Brooklyn, N.Y. would join the league beginning in 2024. The league also updated the teams planned to participate in the inaugural season and those that were planned for future expansion.
The league debuted on August 17, 2024 with two matches. In the first game, Carolina Ascent FC defeated DC Power FC 1-0. Vicky Bruce scored the first goal in league history in the 27th minute. In the second, Fort Lauderdale United FC tied Spokane Zephyr FC 1-1.
