This article is about the newest professional league. For the defunct league of a similar name, see Women's Pro Softball League.

Women's Professional Fastpitch (WPF) is a professional women's fastpitch softball league in the United States. The new league began its promotional campaign in 2021[3] and launched its first official season in June 2023.[4][5][6] In 2024 they lost two teams, but added two new teams in Mexico and new team in Texas.[7]

The league is unrelated to the defunct league that used the names National Pro Fastpitch (NPF) and Women's Pro Softball League (WPSL) along with Women's Professional Fastpitch. Not to be confused with a new competing league, the Association of Fastpitch Professionals.
