# 2017 Everton L.F.C. season

The FA WSL Spring Series (2017 season) was Everton Ladies Football Club's third season competing in the FA Women's Super League.
Due to the reorganisation of top-level women's football in England, the 2017 season only covered half of a traditional season's length, while the FA WSL shifted its calendar to match the traditional autumn-to-spring axis of football in Europe. For the same reason, there is no Champions League qualification nor relegation for which to be competed.
