The following is a list of records and statistics of the Women's Super League (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 only cover 22 and 14 game seasons, as they have been featured in the league at least more than once.
The 2016 season was Reading's first season in the FA WSL 1, after winning promotion from the FA WSL 2 in 2015.
The 2015 season was Arsenal Ladies Football Club's 28th season since forming in 1987. The club participated in the fifth edition of the FA WSL, England's top flight for women's football since 2011.

After a poor start to the season, including three straight home defeats, Shelley Kerr stood down as Arsenal manager following the FA Cup Final, and was replaced later in the season by Pedro Martinez Losa.
The 2013 season was Arsenal Ladies Football Club's 26th season since forming in 1987. The club participated in the third edition of the FA WSL, England's top flight for women's football since 2011.

The resulting three point deduction saw them fall to third place and miss out on qualifying for Europe in the 2014–15 season.
