ORLANDO, Fla. (March 12, 2025) — The Orlando Pride (0-0-0, 0 points) has announced its start-of-season roster as the Pride get set to begin play in the 2025 National Women’s Soccer League Season. Led by 2024 NWSL Head Coach of the Year Seb Hines, the roster features a mix of returning players from the Pride’s 2024 NWSL Shield-winning and 2024 NWSL Championship-winning roster along with some new offseason acquisitions.
The Pride will begin the 2025 regular season campaign at home on Friday, March 14, by hosting Chicago Stars FC at Inter&Co Stadium. The match is set to kick off at 8 p.m. ET and can be seen on Prime Video. Prior to the match, the Pride will hold a banner-raising ceremony to celebrate the Pride winning both the NWSL Shield and Championship during the 2024 season.
It has been a busy offseason for the Pride being able to extend Cori Dyke and 2024 NWSL Defender of the Year Emily Sams through the 2027 season.
