The 2025 Arena League season was the second season of The Arena League (The AL or TAL).

Teams

On April 5, 2024, the league released a list of five markets, which people could vote on at the AL website for the city to be an expansion franchise beginning in the 2025 season. The five markets included: Dallas, Texas; Eau Claire, Wisconsin; St. Joseph, Missouri; Hot Springs, Arkansas; and Rochester, Minnesota, which was a part of the inaugural season voting. On April 25, 2024, the league announced that Hot Springs would be the first expansion team and will begin play in 2025.[1] The league announced Eau Claire as the second expansion team on May 17, 2024.

In April 2025, the Kansas City Goats announced they would change their name permanently to the St. Joseph Goats.

This was the last TAL season that the Duluth Harbor Monsters have competed in and won their second Arena League championship before joining Arena Football One.
