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]
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]
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.
All league matches are held at the PFF National Training Center in Carmona, Cavite, approximately 6.7km (04.2miles) south of Metro Manila. Some are hosted at the Rizal Memorial Stadium.

The top four teams from the single round robin qualified and are seeded for the Knockout Semifinals. The 2nd and 3rd ranked teams are seeded in the first semifinals while the 1st and 4th ranked teams were seeded in the second semifinals.
Kaya won through Sheen Nicole Ramores' lone goal in the 86th minute.[12] Kaya became the first ever club team to win the PFF Women's League, with the last editions clinched by collegiate side De La Salle.[13]
In mid-2024, Kaya would be invited to participate in the 2024–25 AFC Women's Champions League. They qualified directly for the group stage of the competition proper by virtue of the Philippines' member= association rankings (seventh).[14]
