The Kazakhstani women's football championship is contested in the top level women's football league in Kazakhstan. Before 1991, some Kazakh women's clubs had competed in the Soviet Union women's league system, but after the collapse of the Soviet Union most women's teams left for Russia or simply dissolved.

The number of teams varies from year to year. In 2008 there were 4 teams, 7 in 2009 and 5 in 2015.

The league is played on several matchdays a summer. With now 5 teams, there will be 4 matchdays, actually about a week long, which features a full round robin (so 10 matches, two per day). The winner after the last matchday is the champion and qualifies for a spot in the UEFA Women's Champions League.
