The 2025 USL Championship season was the 15th season of the USL Championship, the eighth season under Division II sanctioning, and 30th season overall of a national division 2 league, in the United States.
Twenty-four teams in two conferences competed in the regular season. Lexington SC joined from USL League One. Memphis 901 FC withdrew because it was unable to secure the construction of a soccer-specific stadium. The team transferred their franchise rights to Santa Barbara Sky FC, which said they'd begin play in the 2026 season before announcing another delay, this time to the 2027 season. The Brooklyn FC men's team, which was scheduled to begin play in 2025, elected to postpone its debut to the 2026 season.
All 24 teams participated in the USL Jägermeister Cup alongside the 14 USL League One teams.
Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC were the defending league champions and Louisville City FC were the defending Players' Shield winners.
