The 2017 season was Arsenal Ladies' 7th season in the Women's Super League, 25th season in the top flight, and the 30th season overall. The club participated in the WSL and the FA Cup.
The 2017 WSL season covered only half of a normal season's length, following a reorganisation of top-level women's football in England to shift its schedule to a traditional autumn-to-spring calendar.[1] For this reason there was no WSL Cup, Champions League qualification, or relegation to be competed for.
This was the club's final season known as Arsenal Ladies before rebranding to Arsenal Women in July 2017.[2]
