The league qualifiers will be a best-of-five series played by the last place (i.e. ninth ranked) team of the Naisten Liiga and the winner of the Naisten Mestis playoffs, regardless of the teams. [1]

Coaching changes

Team Previous coach New coach Details
KalPa Mika VÀÀrÀlÀ Artturi Rouhiainen VÀÀrÀlÀ announced he would not continue as head coach of KalPa on 17 March 2024, a day after successfully coaching the team to its second consecutive Finnish Championship bronze medal. Specifics regarding his departure were not reported, however the relationship between the club and coach appeared amicable and he wished the team much success in the future. [2]
Rouhiainen was announced as the new head coach of KalPa on 20 March 2024. The 29-year old spent the 2023–24 season as head coach of KalPa's girls' under-15 team and associate head coach of the girls' under-16 team, while finishing a degree in physical education. [3]
KĂ€rpĂ€t Satu Kiipeli Teemu Koivula After starting the 2023–24 season as an assistant coach with KĂ€rpĂ€t, Kiipeli took on head coaching duties in October 2023 following the resignation of head coach Sanna Lankosaari earlier that month. The team achieved a 9-23 win–loss record on the season and were swept in the quarterfinals of the 2024 playoffs by eventual Aurora Borealis Cup champions HIFK.
Koivula was head coach of RoKi during the 2023–24 season, in which the team finished at the bottom of the Naisten Liiga standings. He was announced as the new head coach of KĂ€rpĂ€t on 27 March 2024 and, at the same time, it was confirmed that Kiipeli would remain with the team and return to her previous role as assitant coach.
