doc/source/whatsnew/v2.2.0.rst

@@ -227,6 +227,7 @@ Other enhancements
 - Allow passing ``read_only``, ``data_only`` and ``keep_links`` arguments to openpyxl using ``engine_kwargs`` of :func:`read_excel` (:issue:`55027`)
 - DataFrame.apply now allows the usage of numba (via ``engine="numba"``) to JIT compile the passed function, allowing for potential speedups (:issue:`54666`)
 - Implement masked algorithms for :meth:`Series.value_counts` (:issue:`54984`)
+- Implemented :meth:`Series.str.extract` for :class:`ArrowDtype` (:issue:`56268`)
 - Improved error message that appears in :meth:`DatetimeIndex.to_period` with frequencies which are not supported as period frequencies, such as "BMS" (:issue:`56243`)
 - Improved error message when constructing :class:`Period` with invalid offsets such as "QS" (:issue:`55785`)
