The 2016 United Women's Soccer season is the 22nd season of pro-am women's soccer in the United States, and the 1st season of the new UWS league. The regular season began on May 14 and ended on July 23.
The league was announced with eight teams[1] in the northeastern United States and eastern Canada in December[2] after the USL W-League had folded a few months previously. Five teams in a western division were added in January[3] before the Canadian Soccer Association refused entry of two Quebec clubs into UWS, leaving the league at 11 teams for its inaugural season.
