The 2025 Orlando Pride season is the Orlando Pride's 10th season in the National Women's Soccer League, the top division of women's soccer in the United States. They enter as defending NWSL Shield winners and NWSL champions.

Notable events

In August 2024, the NWSL Draft was abolished ahead of the 2025 season as part of the new Collective Bargaining Agreement. The NWSL became the first major professional sports league in the United States to eliminate the draft system.[1]
