All statistics correct as of August 31, 2025.

The 2025 season is 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 is the 19th overall season of FIFA and USSF-sanctioned top division women's soccer in the United States.

The league has 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 is not expected to see the return of the NWSL x Liga MX Femenil Summer Cup, an international competition between clubs from the NWSL and Liga MX Femenil of Mexico.[3] It will be the first season without a college draft; the 2025 rookie class will enter the league as free agents.[4] All teams will play 26 matches.[5]

The defending NWSL Championship and NWSL Shield winner is Orlando Pride.[6]

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

Tiebreakers

[edit]

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.[30]

  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

[edit]

The regular season will begin on March 14 with each team playing 26 matches—13 at home and 13 away. Matches will be paused from June 23 to July 31 to accommodate international competitions, including the UEFA Women's Euro and Copa América Femenina. The regular season will culminate with "Decision Day" on November 2.[31][32] The NWSL playoffs will begin on November 7 and finish with the NWSL Championship on November 22.[33]
