The Blues confirmed top spot with a game to spare thanks to Arsenal’s draw with Brighton & Hove Albion.
It underlines the remarkable consistency City have shown across the campaign, having been top of the table since a 2-1 win over Everton on Sunday 9 November.

Andrée Jeglertz also becomes only the second manager in WSL history to win the title in his debut season at the helm.
Our numbers at both ends of the pitch further underline that dominance, with the Blues currently boasting the best attacking record in the entire division with 58 goals, while only Arsenal have conceded fewer.
Individuals have also flourished, with Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw all but assured of a record third-successive WSL Golden Boot, while Kerstin Casparij also leads the way in assists.
Ayaka Yamashita’s seven clean sheets also see her locked in a battle with Chelsea’s Hannah Hampton and Manchester United’s Phallon Tullis-Joyce for the Golden Glove award.
City’s march to the title was underpinned by a 13-match winning run between September and February, which saw us beat Arsenal 3-2, Manchester United 3-0 and Chelsea 5-1 on home soil.
Indeed, the Blues have successfully maintained a 100% record at the Joie and Etihad Stadium this season, grabbing 38 goals and conceding just eight in the process.
It’s the second time we’ve won the WSL title since our first professional season in 2014, with our previous success coming in 2016.
Speaking about being crowned champions, Head Coach Andrée Jeglertz said: “Helping guide this team to the WSL title is something I will never forget.
“The girls have met every challenge in front of them head on and have been an absolute joy to coach this season.
“In the good moments and the bad, they’ve always stuck together and found a way to win – something that all great champions do.
“This wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible effort, belief, passion and dedication of my colleagues, the players and the fans. They’ve all been a credit to the club as well as themselves and deserve to celebrate this amazing moment.
“But this isn’t the end of the road – we still have plenty to fight for this season and in the coming years. I’m excited by what the future holds for this amazing group of players and this fantastic club.”
City captain Alex Greenwood added: “Captaining this group of girls to the WSL title is one of the proudest moments of my career and an honour I will cherish forever.
“Every single player and member of staff has been crucial in that, and it’s a pleasure to share this with them all and with you, our amazing fans who’ve been with us every step of the way.
“This success has come from ten months of hard work on and off the pitch. We’ve always believed we’re capable of winning the WSL, but it hasn’t been handed to us on a plate – it’s the result of an incredible team effort and bond that simply can’t be put into words.
“This is a special moment for us all, but we want to make sure it’s just the start. This club should be consistently challenging for top honours in England and Europe, so while we’re all delighted, we know many more incredible days in our history are still to come!”
