With fresh faces eager to make their mark, record-breaking feats on the horizon, and rivalries heating up, the 2025 season is set to raise the bar. As teams battle for supremacy and players chase their legacies, every match will be a new chapter in a story of grit, passion, and triumph. Get ready—the road to NWSL glory begins now.

Defending the Crown in the City Beautiful

After clinching the 2024 NWSL Shield and Championship titles, Orlando Pride enters 2025 with momentum and ambitions of defending their crown, thanks to the return of key players. Barbra Banda, the 2024 NWSL Championship MVP with 17 goals, leads the charge alongside 2024 NWSL Defender of the Year Emily Sams and the legendary Marta, who re-signed for two more seasons. Team leader Kylie Strom is back, along with defensive standout Kerry Abello, an underappreciated pillar of last season’s success. Unbeaten at home in 2024, Orlando remains a fortress—and the team to beat.
