The 2017 season is Reading FC Women's second season in the FA WSL 1, after winning promotion from the FA WSL 2 in 2015.[1]

Following a reorganisation of top-level women's football in England, the 2017 season will only cover half of a traditional season's length, while the FA WSL shifts its calendar to match the traditional autumn-to-spring axis of football in Europe.[2] For the same reason, there is no Champions League qualification nor relegation to be competed for.
