The 2025 National Women’s Soccer League season is about to kick off, and fans are buzzing with excitement.

Angel City FC is gearing up for a season of change as they welcome new sporting director Mark Parsons and navigate the waters of finding a permanent head coach. With a revamped lineup and a fresh approach, the team aims to qualify for the playoffs and shed the struggles of the past season. The Thompson sisters, Alyssa and Gisele, are poised to make a significant impact, bringing a youthful energy to the squad.
Bay FC: Goalkeeping Woes
Bay FC faces a dilemma in the goalkeeping department after Katelyn Rowland’s unexpected retirement. With a trio of untested goalkeepers vying for the starting spot, the team must quickly find a reliable option to solidify their defense. Despite a strong finish last season, Bay FC will need to maintain their momentum and defensive prowess to secure another playoff berth.
Chicago Stars FC: Striving for Success
Chicago Stars FC is eyeing a return to the postseason after a lackluster performance last year. With key additions to the midfield and forward lines, including Spanish midfielder Maitane Lopez and U.S. forward Micayla Johnson, the team aims to capitalize on their young talent and build on their previous playoff appearance. The return of Mallory Swanson remains uncertain, but Chicago is determined to make a statement in the upcoming season.
