From the 2020–21 season, the FA WSL was given three Champions League places per season, increased from the previous two.

Chelsea were the defending champions, having been awarded the 2019–20 title on a points-per-game basis following the curtailment of the season due to COVID-19 pandemic in England. They became the first team since Liverpool in 2014 to defend a WSL title.
