The side are hoping for a full season this term, after two campaigns curtailed by the pandemic, although Burnley did enjoy a record run to the Women’s FA Cup fourth round, where they went out to Manchester United Women of the Women's Super League in April.

In February, new chairman Alan Pace announced that the women’s side was to be integrated into the football club with immediate effect.

Major investment, including the creation of a Women’s Academy, is planned to help move the women’s team to the next level, following unprecedented back-to-back promotions into the FA Women’s National League Northern Premier Division.

The club pledged its commitment, outling a long-term intention to professionalise women's football, targeting promotion to the FA Women's Championship by 2025.
