The Future of Stardom Championship (フューチャー・オブ・スターダム王座, Fu~yūchā Obu Sutādamu Ōza)[3] is a women's professional wrestling championship owned by the World Wonder Ring Stardom promotion. The title was introduced on February 18, 2018,[1] and the inaugural champion was crowned on March 28, when Starlight Kid defeated Shiki Shibusawa in the finals of an five-woman single-elimination tournament.[2] Initially, in order for a wrestler to challenge for the title, they must have been under twenty years old or have less than two years of experience in professional wrestling. But on 20 December 2020, the experience level requirement for the title was changed from two years to less than three years of wrestling experience, regardless of the wrestler's age.[4]

Like most professional wrestling championships, the title is won as a result of a scripted match. There have been six reigns shared among six different wrestlers and two vacancies. The current champion is Unagi Sayaka who is in her first reign.
