# 2022–23 Real Madrid Femenino season

The 2022–23 Real Madrid Femenino season is the 7th edition in the existence of Real Madrid Femenino and the club's 3rd season since being officially rebranded as part of Real Madrid. In addition to the domestic league, they are participating in this season's edition of the Copa de la Reina having already been eliminated from the UEFA Women's Champions League and the Supercopa de España earlier in the season.
Alberto Toril continued as the club's manager after replacing David Aznar during the previous season. The club's most notable signing of the summer transfer window was Caroline Weir who joined from Manchester City on a free transfer.
However, the club's push to join rivals Barcelona as the pre-eminent powers of women's football in Spain did not end there. Kathellen, a winner of the Copa América with Brazil in July, signed in August from Inter Milan while Freja Olofsson became the most-expensive signing in club history when she joined from Racing Louisville for a fee which, according to reports, was in excess of €100,000. Experienced veteran Sandie Toletti, a member of France's semi-finalist squad at the Euros, was also signed to bolster the team's midfield.
