List of foreign Indian Women's League players

This is a list of foreign players in the Indian Women's League (IWL) which commenced play in the 2016–17 season. The following players must meet both of the following two criteria:

1. Have played in at least one IWL game. Players who were signed by IWL clubs, but did not play in any competitive games, are not included.
2. Are considered foreign, i.e., outside India determined by the following:

A player is considered foreign if she is not eligible to play for the national team of India.

More specifically,

• If a player has been capped on international level, the national team is used; if she has been capped by more than one country, the highest level (or the most recent) team is used.
• If a player has not been capped on international level, her country of birth is used, except those who were born abroad from Indian parents or moved to India at a young age, and those who clearly indicated to have switched her nationality to another nation.

Clubs listed are those which have contracted the player. Note that calendar years are used. This follows general practice in expressing years a player spent at club.

As of April 2025, 15 different nations have been represented in the IWL. Bhutan is the most recent nation to be represented with Sonam Choden debuting for Kickstart on 21 March 2025.

In bold: players who are currently active with an IWL club.
