As the 2026-27 Women’s Super League (WSL) season approaches, Everton faces a period of transition under new leadership. The club is coming off an eighth-place finish in the previous campaign, a result viewed by observers as a respectable outcome given the team's financial constraints.

Expectations for the upcoming season remain modest. A panel of writers has collectively predicted that Everton will finish in tenth place. This outlook is largely attributed to the club's limited resources compared to the league's wealthiest teams; recent financial disclosures indicate that Everton’s total wage bill is five times smaller than that of Chelsea.

While the arrival of a new manager has introduced a sense of optimism within the club, there is a clear acknowledgment that the team is not expected to challenge for the top spots in the table. The primary goal for the season appears to be maintaining stability and achieving a finish similar to last year, which would be considered a successful campaign for a side with a relatively small budget. The disparity in financial backing remains the defining factor in the club's projected performance for the year ahead.
