Unihockey Prime League Women (also known as Lidl Unihockey Prime League Women due to sponsorship, abbreviated as L-UPL Women) is the top women's floorball league in Switzerland. The league consists of 10 teams. It was first played in the 1986âÂÂ87 season.
The champion of the league is eligible to compete at the Champions Cup. The lower league is National League B.
The most successful team in the league is Red Ants Winterthur, with 18 titles, the latest of which came in the 2010âÂÂ11 season. In the most recent 2024âÂÂ25 season, Kloten-Dietlikon Jets claimed their 12th overall title and sixth consecutive championship.
Since its founding, the league was known as National League A (NLA). Between the 2007âÂÂ08 and 2012âÂÂ13 seasons, it was renamed Swiss Mobiliar League (SML) due to sponsorship, before reverting to NLA. The league adopted its current name in the 2022âÂÂ23 season following a new sponsorship agreement.
Between 2007 and 2017, the league featured only eight teams. The Superfinal, a single match deciding the championship title, was introduced in 2015.
In the regular season, which takes place approximately from September to March, all teams play each other twice, resulting in a total of 18 rounds. Teams earn 3 points for a win, 2 points for an overtime win, and 1 point for an overtime loss.
At the end of the regular season, the top eight teams advance to the playoff, which usually begin in March and culminate in April. The top three teams get to choose their opponents from the bottom four for the quarterfinals. Semifinal matchups are determined based on regular season standings. The quarterfinals and semifinals are played in a best-of-seven format. The final consists of a single match, held alongside the men's league final as part of the Superfinal event. The league champion qualifies for the Champions Cup. If the same team wins both the league and the Swiss Cup, the league runner-up also qualifies. The finalists of both competitions face off in the Supercup.
The bottom two teams from the regular season play a best-of-seven relegation series, with the winner remaining in the league. The loser competes in a promotion/relegation playoff against the National League B (NLB) champion, played in a best-of-five format.
