The three-time National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) champions will be back for more in 2025 as Portland Thorns kick off the new season against Kansas City Current on March 15.

Portland Thorns experienced a rollercoaster 2024 season, narrowly securing a playoff spot despite recording more losses than wins in the home and away season. Survival in the knockouts was short lived after Rose Lavelle sealed NJ/NY Gotham FC's spot in the semi-finals with a 97th minute winner to send the Thorns packing.

Portland won the NWSL Championship in the 2013, 2017 and 2022 seasons, and claimed the NWSL Shield in both 2016 and 2021. The team will be hopeful that they can return to winning ways as the 2025 kicks off in just under a month.

Thorns will commence the 2025 season on March 15 as they take on Kansas City Current at CPKC Stadium. The side will return home to Providence Park the following week as they host Angel City FC on March 21.

The 2025 season looks good on us 😏🌹
