2025 NWSL Season Kicks Off with Orlando Pride Hosting Chicago Stars FC

The defending champions begin their title defense tonight while Chicago looks to rebound from a challenging 2024 season.

The Orlando Pride, reigning NWSL champions, will begin their 2025 season at home against Chicago Stars FC at 8 PM ET, streamed on Prime Video.
Orlando will celebrate their 2024 NWSL Shield and Championship with a banner-raising ceremony at Inter&Co Stadium before the match.
The Pride's standout striker Barbra Banda, who scored 17 goals last season, and veteran playmaker Marta are key players to watch this season.
Chicago Stars FC face the challenge of playing without star forward Mallory Swanson, relying on players like Ally Schlegel and goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher to step up.
The opening weekend features additional matches across the league, including Washington Spirit visiting Houston Dash, also at 8 PM ET tonight, streamed on NWSL+.
