Format

Regular season

Playoffs

The top eight teams from the regular season play for the Finnish championship, in playoffs that starts around March and culminates in April. For quarterfinals, the top three teams from the regular season successively choose their quarterfinal opponents from the four remaining teams. The semifinal pairings are determined by the regular season standings. The quarterfinals and semifinals are in best-of-five format. The finals is played in best-of-seven format. The losing semifinalists play a single match for the bronze medal.

Starting with the 2025–26 season, the last-place team is automatically relegated and replaced by the winner of the lower competition final. The second-to-last team plays a relegation playoff against the runner-up of the Divari final.

History

The league was founded as Salibandyn naisten SM-sarja in 1988 by the Finnish Floorball Federation. It was renamed to Naisten Salibandyliiga for the 2000–01 season. The current name F-liiga is used since season 2020–21. The F-liiga is operated by SSBL Salibandy Oy, a limited corporation owned entirely by the Finnish Floorball Federation.
Starting with the 2015–16 season, the league adopted the Superfinal system, a single championship game to decide the title. However, after three years, it returned to a final series format.
