Sunshine Queens and Osun Babes have been relegated from the 2025/2026 NWFL Premiership as the regular season ended with Matchday 18 fixtures, www.aclsports.com reports.

At the Mobolaji Johnson Arena in Lagos, Robo Queens ended their campaign with a 2–1 win over Nasarawa Amazons, completing a 100 percent home record with nine wins from nine games. Opeyemi Ajakaye opened the scoring in the 24th minute for her sixth goal of the season, while Oluwakemi Adegbuyi doubled the lead in the 50th minute to take her tally to eight goals. Ayatsea Hembafan pulled one back for the visitors in the 75th minute.

In Ikenne, Dannaz Ladies claimed a 3–2 win over Remo Stars Ladies in a thrilling Southwest derby. Remo Stars took an early lead through Chiamaka Ojialor, but goals from Fatimoh Solaty, Zainab Raji, and Ajoke Akinbo turned the game around for Dannaz, before a late own goal added further tension.

Sunshine Queens closed their campaign with a 2–0 win over Confluence Queens in Akure, with goals from Lolade Akintunde and Bunmi Adenuga. Heartland Queens edged Adamawa Queens 1–0 in Owerri, with Chimebere Opara scoring the only goal of the game.
