The 2022–23 Everton F.C. (women) season was the club's sixth consecutive campaign in the Women's Super League, the highest level of the football pyramid. Along with competing in the WSL, the club also contested two domestic cup competitions: the FA Cup and the League Cup.
On 8 April 2022, it was announced Brian Sørensen would become the Everton manager ahead of the 2022–23 season. He had been manager of Fortuna Hjørring since July 2021. Everton had seen out the previous season with an interim managerial team of Chris Roberts and Claire Ditchburn following the sacking of Jean-Luc Vasseur in February 2022.[1]
