The Women's Super League (WSL) is the highest league of women's football in England. The league, which started in 2011, was divided in two separate divisions (WSL 1 and WSL 2) from 2014 with the latter rebranded as the FA Women's Championship following a restructure in 2019; only the WSL 1 is considered in this list. The following players must meet both of the following two criteria: Have played at least one WSL game. Players who were signed by WSL clubs, but only played in lower leagues, cup games and/or European games, or did not play in any competitive games at all, are not included. Are considered foreign, i.e., outside United Kingdom determined by the following: A player is considered foreign if they are not eligible to play for the national teams of England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland. More specifically: If a player has been capped on international level, the national team is used; if they have been capped by more than one country, the highest level (or the most recent) team is used. These include British players with dual citizenship. If a player has not been capped on international level, their country of birth is used, except those who were born abroad from British parents or moved to the United Kingdom at a young age, and those who clearly indicated to have switched their nationality to another nation.

Clubs listed are those for which the player has played at least one WSL game. Seasons are those in which the player has played at least one Women's Super League game. Note that seasons, not calendar years, are used. Until the end of the 2017 spring series, seasons were aligned with calendar years and therefore one year may be listed. Beginning with the 2017–18 season, seasons were played across two years. For example, "2017–22" indicates that the player has played in every season from 2017–18 to 2021–22, but not necessarily every calendar year from 2017 to 2022. Therefore, a player who debuted during or after the 2017–18 season should always have a listing of least two years – for instance, a player making their debut in 2019, during the 2018–19 season, will have '2018–19' after their name despite not playing in 2018. Similarly, a player making their debut in 2019, during the 2019–20 season, will have '2019–20' after their name but this does not necessarily mean they played in 2020.

In bold: players who are currently under contract by a WSL club. For each country, the leading appearance-maker is indicated by the number of matches that they played in the Women's Super League as of the end of the 2023–24 season.

47 different nations have been represented in the WSL by 500 players. The Republic of Ireland is the most represented nation with 45 players. Algeria was the most recent nation to be newly-represented when Inès Belloumou made her WSL debut playing for West Ham United on 12 September 2025 against Arsenal.
