The 2025 Florida State Seminoles women's soccer team represented Florida State University during the 2025 NCAA Division I women's soccer season. This marked the 31st season of the university fielding a women's soccer program, during all of which they have been members of the Atlantic Coast Conference. The Seminoles were led by fourth-year head coach Brian Pensky, and played their home games at Seminole Soccer Complex in Tallahassee, Florida.

The Seminoles were selected to their twenty-sixth NCAA Tournament, advanced to their fifteenth College Cup, reached their eighth title game, and won their fifth national championship.[1]

Previous season

The Seminoles finished the regular season 12–2–2 and 7–2–1 in ACC play to finish in a tie for second place. As the third seed in the ACC Tournament, they hosted sixth seed and thirteenth ranked Notre Dame in the First Round. The Seminoles won and advanced to the Semifinals where they advanced via penalty shoot-out against Wake Forest. The Final was a rematch of a regular season foe North Carolina, which the Seminoles won 3–2. This was the Seminoles seventh consecutive ACC tournament title.[2] As tournament champions, they received an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament and were the first seed in the Florida State Bracket. They defeated Samford in the First Round, before being upset by Vanderbilt in the Second Round via penalty shoot-out. Florida State ended the season with a 15–2–4 overall record.
