The 2025–26 Turkish Women's Football First League (Turkish: TFF Kadın Futbol 1. Ligi 2025–2026 Sezonu) is the 29th season of Turkey's second highest tier women's football league.
A total of 17 teams, 13 from the previous season and 3 promoted from the Second League, compete in the 2025–26 Turkish Women's Football First League. The league is played in two regional groups in a double round-robin format. Group winners are directly promoted to the Super League and contest a single-match championship final, while runners-up play a single-leg play-off to determine the third promoted team.
Three teams are relegated to the Second League. The bottom teams of each group automatically, and the second-bottom teams through a play-out match organized by the Turkish Football Federation. The season begins on 18 October 2025 and concludes between 22 February and 1 March 2026, with a mid-season break from 21 December 2025 to 4 January 2026.[1]
