# 2025 Orlando Pride season

## Match results
### Challenge Cup

Orlando Pride will contest the NWSL Challenge Cup for the first time since it was switched to a super cup format between the winners of the NWSL Shield and NWSL Championship.

### National Women's Soccer League

The NWSL regular season will be played on a balanced schedule i.e. each team will play every other team twice; once at home and once away. The top eight teams will qualify for the playoffs.
