The São Paulo Women's Under-17 Championship is scheduled to begin on April 19, with the grand final set for November 21. In both groups, the teams will play each other once, with the top four teams advancing to the quarterfinals, which will be played over two legs, as will the semifinals. The final, on the other hand, will be a single match.

This will be the tenth edition of the state championship for the category, with São Paulo as the most successful club with seven titles, followed by Ferroviária and Santos, with one trophy each. Since 2017, 52 different teams have participated in the tournament.
