The 2025–26 CONMEBOL Women's Nations League () was the inaugural edition of the CONMEBOL Women's Nations League, an international women's football competition contested by the senior women's national teams of the member associations of CONMEBOL. It was held from 24 October 2025 to 9 June 2026.
The tournament served as the CONMEBOL qualifiers for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup in Brazil. The top two teams, Colombia and Argentina, qualified for the Women's World Cup and will join Brazil, which qualified automatically as hosts. The next two best-placed teams, Venezuela and Ecuador, advanced to the inter-confederation play-offs.
Background On 12 December 2024, following a CONMEBOL Council meeting, it was announced the creation of the South American qualifier for the FIFA Women's World Cup starting with the 2027 edition in Brazil. This new tournament would be CONMEBOL's new qualification pathway for FIFA's top women's national team tournament, replacing the Copa América Femenina, which from its first edition in 1991 (then called the South American Women's Football Championship) until the 2022 edition had been the competition that determined CONMEBOL's representatives to the FIFA Women's World Cup.
The tournament was officially launched on 19 July 2025 and it was formally named the CONMEBOL Women's Nations League, confirming the start date for after the 2025 Copa América Femenina.
Format The competition format consisted of a single round-robin tournament in which the nine teams played each other once, with each team playing four home and four away matches for a total of eight matches per team in nine matchdays. Brazil did not participate as they were automatically qualified for the 2027 Women's World Cup as hosts, so there was one team left out in each matchday.
The fixtures were determined by a draw held on 31 July 2025, 14:00 PYT (UTC−3). Pot 1 contained the nine teams entering qualification, and Pot 2 contained positions 1–9. Each team was drawn to one of the nine positions (E1–E9), thus defining the order of the matches in the predetermined schedule.
Entrants Nine national teams from CONMEBOL entered qualification. Brazil were excluded as they had automatically qualified to the 2027 Women's World Cup as hosts.
