All statistics correct as of November 2, 2025.

The 2025 National Women's Soccer League season was the 13th season for the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL), the top division of women's soccer in the United States. Including the NWSL's two professional predecessors, Women's Professional Soccer (2009–2011) and the Women's United Soccer Association (2001–2003), it was the 19th overall season of FIFA and USSF-sanctioned top division women's soccer in the United States.

The league had 14 teams, unchanged from the 2024 season, which set a record for average attendance and television ratings.[1] It is the second under a set of national broadcasting agreements with CBS Sports, ESPN, Amazon Prime Video and Scripps Sports that run through the 2027 season.[2] The 2025 season did not see the return of the NWSL x Liga MX Femenil Summer Cup, an international competition in 2024 between clubs from the NWSL and Liga MX Femenil of Mexico.[3] It was the first season without a college draft; the 2025 rookie class entered the league as free agents.[4] All teams played 26 regular-season matches.[5]

The defending NWSL Championship and NWSL Shield winner was the Orlando Pride.[6] The Kansas City Current won the 2025 NWSL Shield with a record 21 wins and a record 65 points.[7]

Gotham FC defeated the Washington Spirit in the championship match, 1–0, to win their second title.

Rules for classification: 1) points; 2) total goal difference; 3) total wins; 4) total goals scored; 5) head-to-head points; 6) head-to-head goals scored; 7) fewest disciplinary points; 8) coin toss (if 2 clubs tied) or drawing of lots (if ≥3 clubs tied).

Tiebreakers

The initial determining factor for a team's position in the standings is most points earned, with three points earned for a win, one point for a draw, and zero points for a loss. If two or more teams tie in total points total when determining rank, playoff qualification, and seeding, the NWSL uses the following tiebreaker criteria, going down the list until all teams are ranked.[33]

  1. Greater goal difference across the entire regular season (against all teams, not just tied teams).
  2. Most total wins across the entire regular season (against all teams, not just tied teams).
  3. Most goals scored across the entire regular season (against all teams, not just tied teams).
  4. Head-to-head results (total points) between the tied teams.
  5. Head-to-head most goals scored between the tied teams.
  6. Fewest disciplinary points accumulated across the entire regular season (against all teams, not just tied teams).
  7. Coin flip (if two teams are tied) or drawing of lots (if three or more teams are tied).

Format

The regular season began on March 14 with each team playing 26 matches—13 at home and 13 away. Matches were paused from June 23 to July 31 to accommodate international competitions, including the UEFA Women's Euro and Copa América Femenina. The regular season culminated with "Decision Day" on November 2, when most teams played at the same time.[34][35] The NWSL playoffs will begin on November 7 and finish with the NWSL Championship on November 22.[36]
