With the excitement surrounding the new season, all eyes will be on the Pride as they aim to defend their title and set the tone for another championship campaign.

The Orlando Pride (1-0-0, 3 points) opened the 2025 NWSL season with a dominant 6-0 win over Chicago Stars FC (0-1-0) tonight at Inter&Co Stadium. Haley McCutcheon, Ally Watt, and Julie Doyle netted goals for the Pride, while Barbra Banda scored a brace. The other goal was an own goal by Hannah Anderson just after halftime.

Orlando dominated Friday’s home game from start to finish against a depleted Chicago side that never looked threatening.
