The 2025 Washington Spirit season is the team's thirteenth season as a professional women's soccer team. The Spirit play in the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL), the top tier of women's soccer in the United States. They will also be participating in the 2025–26 CONCACAF W Champions Cup as a consequence of finishing as the regular season and playoff runners-up in the 2024 season; this marks the first time they have participated in a continental competition.
Background
The Spirit finished the 2024 National Women's Soccer League season as runner-up in the NWSL playoffs, losing to Orlando Pride in the 2024 NWSL Championship. This was to be Jonatan Giráldez's first full year with the Spirit after joining the team midway through last season in June 2024; however, in June 2025, the Spirit announced that he would become the head coach of OL Lyonnes in time for the start of the 2025-26 Première Ligue.[1][2] Both the Spirit and OL Lyonnes are owned by Michelle Kang. He was replaced by Adrián González.
Summary
Stadium and facilities
The Spirit continue to play in Audi Field, their full-time home since the team's 2022 season, and train at the United Performance Center in Leesburg, Virginia, a facility shared with D.C. United, D.C. United's youth academy, and Loudoun United FC.[3][4]
Broadcasting
In addition to the league's national and international broadcast agreements, five Spirit matches of the 2025 season will air on the regional Monumental Sports Network, continuing last year's partnership when ten matches were broadcast on the channel.[5]
