The 2022–23 Women's Super League season (also known as the Barclays Women's Super League for sponsorship reasons) was the 12th edition of the Women's Super League (WSL) since it was formed in 2010.[1] It was the fifth season after the rebranding of the four highest levels in English women's football.

Ahead of the season the top two tiers unveiled a new visual identity, dropping "The FA" from the league names as part of the long term strategy for the leagues to be under new ownership in the future.[2] Due to start on 9 September 2022, the FA postponed all of the weekend's football fixtures following the death of Queen Elizabeth II on 8 September 2022.[3] The first match was instead played the following week on 16 September.
Chelsea successfully defended their title by defeating Reading, whose relegation from the division after an eight-year stint was confirmed by the result, 3–0 on the final matchday. It was Chelsea's fourth consecutive and sixth overall WSL title.[4] Manchester United became the first side since 2014 to break into the WSL's top three which had been occupied by Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City in various combinations for the previous seven seasons.[5]
Rachel Daly was topscorer and equalled the league record of 22 goals first set by Vivianne Miedema in 2018–19. She became the first English player to win the award since Ellen White in 2017–18.[6] Mary Earps won the golden glove and broke the record for clean sheets in a WSL season with 14.[7]
On 24 September 2022, a new record WSL attendance was set at 47,367 during a match between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur at the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal won 4–0.[8]
Teams
editTwelve teams contested the 2022–23 Women's Super League season. Liverpool were confirmed as the 2021–22 FA Women's Championship champions on 3 April 2022, ensuring that they would return to the WSL for the first time since the 2019–20 season after a two year absence.[9] On 4 May 2022, founding members Birmingham City were relegated meaning the 2022–23 season was the first WSL season without them.[10]

Stadium changes
editHaving spent the previous three seasons at The Hive Stadium following promotion to the WSL in 2019, Tottenham Hotspur relocated to Brisbane Road, home of Leyton Orient, ahead of the 2022–23 season.[11]
In addition, eight of the ten clubs whose women's team play at secondary stadia moved select matches to the club's primary ground throughout the season.[12][13][14][15][16] This would have included on opening weekend with Brighton & Hove Albion hosting Aston Villa at Falmer Stadium,[17] Chelsea hosting West Ham United at Stamford Bridge,[18] and Tottenham Hotspur hosting Manchester United at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.[19] With Reading already playing at the Madejski Stadium, it would have meant four of the six openers taking place at the stadium used by their respective clubs' men's team with Everton and Manchester City the only home sides not to do so. However, the opening weekend was postponed along with all other football fixture in the country following the death of Elizabeth II, meaning the predicted "record breaking start" to the season off the back of Euro 2022 was on hold.[20] Everton and West Ham United were the two teams to not play any WSL matches at the club's primary ground during the season.

However, as 2022–23 UEFA Women's Champions League winners Barcelona had already qualified for the group stage as 2022–23 Liga F champions, the title holders' berth to the group stage was redistributed to Chelsea.[30]
