The 2025 Big Ten women's soccer tournament was the postseason women's soccer tournament for the Big Ten Conference held from October 30 through November 9, 2025. The tournament was hosted by Purdue University at Folk Field for the First Round and the Quarterfinals then at Energizer Park in St. Louis, Missouri for the Semifinals and Finals.[1] The ten-team single-elimination tournament consisted of four rounds based on seeding from regular season conference play. UCLA were the defending champions.[2][3] UCLA was unable to defend its title, falling to Michigan State in the semifinals. The Washington Huskies would go on to defeat Michigan State in a penalty shoot-out in the Final and complete the regular season and tournament double.[4][5] The conference tournament title was the first for Washington and first Big Ten title for head coach Nicole Van Dyke.[6] As tournament champions, Washington earned the Big Ten's automatic bid to the 2025 NCAA Division I women's soccer tournament.

Seeding

The top ten teams in the regular season earned a spot in the tournament. Teams were seeded based on regular season conference records. A tiebreaker was required between Iowa and UCLA as both teams finished with 6–2–3 regular season conference records. UCLA won the regular season matchup between the two teams 3–0 on October 16, and was therefore the third seed. A four-team tiebreaker was required between Illinois, Northwestern, Ohio State, and Penn State as all four teams finished with seventeen conference points. Penn State won the tiebreaker and was the sixth seed, Northwestern was the seventh seed, Ohio State was the eighth seed, and Illinois was the ninth seed.[7]
