The 2025 Las Vegas Lights FC season was the club's eighth season, and their eighth season in the United Soccer League Championship (USLC), the second division of American soccer.
During the offseason, the Lights underwent a notable coaching change. Following their first playoff appearance in club history the previous season under head coach Dennis Sanchez, who took the club all the way to the Western Conference Final, Sanchez was hired by New Mexico United. He was replaced by Antonio Nocerino, who previously led fellow USL Championship club Miami FC to a league-worst eleven points all season.
Twelve games into the season, after poor performance that saw the Lights out of a playoff position, Nocerino was let go by the Lights. He was later replaced by Devin Rensing, who previously served as an assistant coach for the Charleston Battery.
