2017–18 Manchester City W.F.C. season

This page needs to update the data.

The 2017–18 season was Manchester City Women's Football Club's 30th season of competitive football and its fifth season in the FA Women's Super League and at the top level of English women's football.

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]
