The 2014 Nigeria Women Premier League is the 25th consecutive season of Nigeria's women premier football league. The season began on 1st of March 2014 and ended on 26th November 2014. Nassarawa Amazons are the 2013 champions. This will be the first time in recent times that the winner will be decided straightaway without a super-6 tournament at the end of the season.
The Nigeria Women Football League board announced before the commencement of the league that there shall be no super-6 league at the end of the season. It was also said that 4 teams will be promoted from the second division to increase the number of teams to 16, implying that there will be no relegation but promotion in this new system.
After playing 10 games (in week 14), Adamawa Queens requested a waiver because other teams are refusing to visit their home-ground because of fear of Boko Haram. The board accepted the waiver and tagged all her matches null and void thereby updating the table. Adamawa Queens will return next season when the insurgency and state of emergency has relapsed.
