Inaugurated in 2021, the Hall of Fame, was launched to coincide with the 10th anniversary of the league following its inception in April 2011.[1][2][3] It is intended to recognise and honour players and individuals that who have contributed to the growth of the women's game in England and the WSL since its founding.

In September 2021, as part of the inaugural class of 2021, three players were inducted; Fara Williams, Rachel Yankey, Kelly Smith and one manager, Emma Hayes. The next year, a further three players were inducted.
