The Scottish Women’s Premier League (SWPL) have launched the newest phase of their
website at swpl.uk, created and developed by their digital partners Scoot.
The updated website makes it easier than ever to find information including fixtures,
results, league tables, and news. This builds on phase one which was launched in October as
part of the new 2022-23 season.
SWPL Managing Director, Fiona McIntyre, said: “This is another important step forward
for the SWPL. The visibility of the women’s game is vital, so ensuring fans can find information
quickly and easily is important. This modern website accomplishes that whilst also
maintaining the strong new SWPL brand we’ve created.
“We look forward to continuing to work with Scoot to build on and further enhance our
offering to fans and the wider public.”
Scoot Managing Director, Scott Sutherland, said: “Scoot is excited to be partnering with
SWPL to launch the next phase of their online presence. We're looking forward to further
enhancing the fan experience with future updates to provide info and data that will help to
promote the women's game across Scotland.”

The final round of matches before the split is on Sunday 12th March as the SWPL
approaches a critical point in the race for the title, UEFA Women’s Champions League
qualification, top six, and to avoid relegation.
SWPL Managing Director, Fiona McIntyre, said: “We’re pleased to confirm these
matches as our broadcast partners continue to showcase the drama and excitement that the
SWPL provides.
“With the addition of the split after 22 rounds, there is plenty to play for as clubs at both
ends of the table seek to gain an advantage at this critical point in the season. I have no doubt
this additional excitement and drama will help drive further visibility and coverage for the
league as a whole.”
BBC ALBA Sport Executive Producer, Fiona MacKenzie, said: “BBC ALBA is delighted to
offer sustained coverage of the SWPL bringing top women’s football fixtures to our audience
and continue our support of the women’s game in Scotland.”
