The 2024–25 USL Super League (referred to as USLS) was the first season of the USL Super League, a top division of women's soccer in the United States. Eight teams competed in the inaugural season, which began on August 17, 2024. The league paused between mid-December and mid-February for a winter break and finished with the championship game on June 14, 2025, won by Tampa Bay Sun FC. The Players' Shield, won by the team with the best regular-season record, went to Carolina Ascent FC.
Overview
Stadium issues and match rescheduling
Brooklyn FC's home opener, initially scheduled for August 31, 2024 against Carolina Ascent FC, was postponed due to issues identified during the installation of the turf at Maimonides Park, which left the field unplayable. On September 19, 2024, Brooklyn FC announced an agreement with Columbia University to host their seven fall home matches in 2024 at Rocco B. Commisso Soccer Stadium in Manhattan. As a result of the venue change, Brooklyn FC adjusted its home schedule.
Fort Lauderdale's home opener, originally scheduled against Dallas Trinity on September 29, 2024, was rescheduled to December 1, 2024, due to 'construction delays'.
DC Power FC rescheduled two of their home games.
Historic goals The first goal in USL Super League history was scored by Vicky Bruce of Carolina Ascent in a match against DC Power FC on August 17, 2024. Dallas Trinity's Chioma Ubogagu recorded the league's first brace on September 13, 2024, in a home match against Lexington SC. In the same game, Allie Thornton became the first player to score a hat trick in league history, achieving a perfect hat trick.
Teams
Format The 2024–25 USL Super League season featured eight teams competing in a balanced 28-game regular season, split into fall and spring schedules with a winter break.
