The 2025 USL Super League final was the inaugural championship match of the USL Super League, a top-division professional soccer league in the United States, and took place on June 14, 2025. It was contested between Tampa Bay Sun FC and Fort Lauderdale United FC to determine the champion of the inaugural 2024–25 season. Tampa Bay won 1–0 at their home Riverfront Stadium.
Road to the final Tampa Bay Sun
Tampa Bay Sun FC finished second in the standings in the USL Super League's inaugural season. They were led by USL Super League All-League honorees Sydny Nasello, Natasha Flint, Vivianne Bessette, and Cecilie Fløe. In the playoff semifinals, goals scored by Flint and Carlee Giammona led the Sun to a 2–1 win over the third seed Dallas Trinity FC.
Fort Lauderdale United
Fort Lauderdale United FC finished fourth in the inaugural standings. They were led by All-League honorees Addie McCain, Jasmine Hamid, and Laveni Vaka, but the latter suffered a season-ending knee injury before the playoffs. In the playoff semifinals, two goals from midseason signing Kiara Locklear led United to a 2–1 win over the Players' Shield champion Carolina Ascent FC, with an extra-time game winner that may have been wrongly ruled onside.
