FA WSL records and statistics
The following is a list of records and statistics of the FA Women's Super League (FA WSL) — the highest level of women's football in England — since its inception in 2011. Barring total appearances, all statistics do not include the 2017 FA WSL Spring Series, which bridged the gap between the 2016 and 2017–18 season, featuring only 8 games for each team. Many league record team statistics (such as those related to points, goals, wins and losses) only cover 22 and 14 game seasons, as they have been featured in the league at least more than once.
The following lists the season lengths of all seasons of the WSL thus far:

All-time FA WSL table
The all-time FA Women's Super League table is a cumulative record of all match results, points and goals of every team that has played in the FA WSL since its inception in 2011. The following table is accurate as of the 2020–21 FA WSL season. Although Birmingham City are one of the three clubs to have featured in every season, they have played two games less than Arsenal and Chelsea due to the uneven number of matches played in the 19–20 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Numbers in bold are the record (highest either positive or negative) numbers in each column.
