The Professional Footballers' Association Women's Players' Player of the Year is an annual award given to the player who is voted to have been the best of the year in English women's football.[1] The award has been presented since the 2012–13 season[2] and the winner is chosen by a vote amongst the members of the players' trade union, the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA). The current holder is Khadija Shaw who won the award on 20 August 2024. The first winner of the award was Arsenal midfielder Kim Little in 2013.[3]
Every spring, each member of the association votes for two players.[4] A shortlist of nominees is published in April and the winner of the award, along with the winners of the PFA's other annual awards, is announced at a gala event in London a few days later.[5]
