Chicago Stars will begin the 2025 National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) season on the road against defending champions Orlando Pride on March 14.

It will be a difficult mountain to climb for the Stars, who will come up against the 2024 NWSL Championship and NWSL Shield winners at Inter & Co Stadium on the opening weekend.

Picking up 10 wins, 14 losses and two ties throughout the 2024 season, Chicago were able to scrape themselves a playoff spot thanks to an eighth-place finish in the league standings. The side didn't last long in the knockout stages, suffering a 4-1 defeat at the hands of the eventual champions Orlando Pride.

Entering the new season with a rebranded identity, the club has moved on from its former name, the Chicago Red Stars, following the conclusion of the 2024 campaign.

Following a first round battle with the defending champions, the Chicago Stars will return home to SeatGeek Stadium to host Houston Dash on March 23.
