Format

The seven teams in the league play each other four times, twice at home and twice away. The games are played on Monday and Thursday evenings. The regular season comes to an end when each team have played 24 games in total. The second and third placed teams will then face each other in a one-game play-off with the winner facing the first placed team in a two-game season final. The winner of this final is crowned the WK-League champions.

The WK-League is the only professional women's league in the country and as such there is no relegation system in place.
