Washington Spirit: 2025 Season Schedule

The Washington Spirit are gearing up for another huge season in the NWSL.

The Washington Spirit were narrowly beaten 1-0 by Orlando Pride in November last year as they missed out on the 2024 National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) title.

They will hope to make amends in 2025 as they chase a second championship title in their history. The Spirit last won in the 2021 season and were runners up in both 2016 and 2024.

On Friday, March 7, Jonatan Giraldez' side will begin their campaign with a repeat of last year's NWSL Championship final against Orlando Pride, this time for the Challenge Cup final. Their regular season will then begin the following week away against Houston Dash at the Shell Energy Stadium on March 14.

The Spirit will then play every team both home and away over the course of several months with the regular season ending at the beginning of November. The top eight teams in the standings will then qualify for the playoffs.
