Following a reorganisation of top-level women's football in England, the 2017–18 season was the first season in the WSL era in which the calendar runs Autumn to Spring in line with the men's game.[1] Due to another re-organisation of the women's game, with WSL 1 becoming a league for fully professional teams only, there was no relegation in the league for this season.[2]
