The '''Danish Women's League''' ({{lang-da|'''Danmarksturneringens Kvindeliga''', '''Kvinde-DM Liga''' or '''Kvindeligaen'''}}) is a semi-professional top-flight league for [[women's football in Denmark]]. It is organised by the [[Danish Football Association]] (DBU) as part of the nation-wide [[Danmarksturneringen i kvindefodbold]] (Kvinde-DM) and is placed as the first division of the [[Danish football league system]].<ref name="dbu-kdm" /> Clubs in the league must meet certain criteria concerning appropriate facilities and finances.<ref name="dbu-lic" /> All of the league's clubs qualify for the proper rounds of the [[Danish Women's Cup|DBU KvindePokalen]]. The top teams of each season qualify for the [[UEFA Women's Champions League]].
 
The division has changed its name on several occasions. It has previously been known simplybegan as '''Danmarksturneringen i damefodbold''' (1975 until 1980), then '''Dame 1. division''' (1981 until 1992), '''Elitedivisionen''' (1993 until 2015–16) before settling withand the current name, Kvindeligaen, beginning with the 2016–17 season.<ref name="dr-daesidbr" /><ref name="dbu-ntfpok" /> Due to [[Sponsor (commercial)|sponsorship]] arrangements, it was known as '''3F Ligaen''' for fourteen seasons (2005–06 until 2018–19) and since the 2019–20 season as '''Gjensidige Kvindeligaen'''.<ref name="tp-30.06.2005" /><ref name="tv2-30.07.2019" />
 
According to FIFA's 2023 Women's Benchmarking Report, the league in 2021-22 drew an average of 388 fans per game, 57% of players had signed compensated player contracts (of whom, the average annual salary was between $10-15k USD), and 29% of players made their primary living from football.<ref>{{cite web |title='Setting the Pace' FIFA Benchmarking Report (3rd Edition) |url=https://www.fifa.com/womens-football/news/setting-the-pace-fifa-womens-football-benchmarking-report |website=FIFA |access-date=25 January 2024 |date=2023-08-18}}</ref> The league's status as semi-professional presented challenges for its [[COVID-19 pandemic in Denmark|return-to-play]] from the 2019-2020 [[COVID-19 pandemic]], as initially in Denmark only fully professional sports were allowed to resume.<ref name="dr-08.05.2020">{{cite news |last1=Frigaard |first1=Anders Melchior |title=Kvindeligaen kan måske genoptages: Afventer svar fra regeringen |url=https://www.dr.dk/sporten/fodbold/kvindeligaen/kvindeligaen-kan-maaske-genoptages-afventer-svar-fra-regeringen |access-date=30 May 2020 |publisher=[[DR (broadcaster)|DR]] / www.dr.dk |date=8 May 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200530202804/https://www.dr.dk/sporten/fodbold/kvindeligaen/kvindeligaen-kan-maaske-genoptages-afventer-svar-fra-regeringen |archive-date=30 May 2020 |language=da}}</ref> A rise in interest and participation in women's football has driven increased investment into the league in recent years, although the best players in Denmark still often depart for fully professional clubs abroad.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Tejwani |first1=Karan |title=Analysing The Rise of Women’s Football in Denmark |url=https://breakingthelines.com/player-analysis/analysing-the-rise-of-womens-football-in-denmark/ |website=Breaking The Lines |access-date=25 January 2024 |date=2022-05-10}}</ref>

2006/07 was a transition year, because the league was extended to 10 teams. The last team after the season played a relegation match against the third placed team of the 1. division, for a place in Elitedivisionen. The top two teams of the 1. division were automatically promoted.
 
From 2007/08 to 2012/13 the league consisted of 10 teams. Those 10 teams playplayed a double round robin as a regular season. After that there are 2 Playoff Groups. Place 1 to 4 of the regular season play the Championship Playoff. Place 5 to 10 play the Relegation Playoff. In the Playoffs, the points accumulated over the regular season are divided by 2 (rounding up if necessary). Those points are the starting points for the playoffs. The Championship group plays another round robin (6 matches each) with the winner being awarded the championship title. The Relegation Group plays a single round robin (5 matches each) after which, the bottom two clubs are relegated.
 
The 2013/14 season again was played only with eight teams. The top six after the regular season play a championship group, the seventh plays a relegation play-off and the eight placed team gets relegated.
