The 2025 Utah Royals season will be the team's fifth season of existence in the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL), the top tier of women's soccer in the United States. It will be the club's second season after returning to the league in 2024. The club plays its home games at America First Field in Sandy, Utah.
Background
The Royals returned to the NWSL in 2024 following a three-year absence.[1] Led by head coach Amy Rodriguez, the team had a slow start to the season that saw them at the bottom of the league table after the first half of the season.[2] After a ten-game winless period,[3] the club fired Rodriguez in late June and replaced her with interim head coach Jimmy Coenraets.[4][5] Coenraets was promoted to a permanent role on October 24 after a more successful run of results and leading the Royals to a group victory in the 2024 NWSL x Liga MX Femenil Summer Cup.[6][7] The team finished 11th overall at the end of the season, failing to qualify for the NWSL playoffs.[8]
Preseason
The Royals kicked off their preseason by announcing their end-of-year roster decisions. The club listed Zoe Burns, Julia Grosso, Shaelan Murison, Darielle O'Brien, Carly Nelson, and Cameron Tucker as players who would not be returning in 2025. Additionally, forward Hannah Betfort was listed as another player out of contract who was in negotiations with the Royals.[9] The next day, the club signed 15-year-old KK Ream using the NWSL Under-18 Entry Mechanism. Ream became the club's youngest signing, surpassing forward Ally Sentnor.[10] The Royals went on to add two more players on December 18 and December 30, trading to acquire Alex Loera[11] and signing former Texas Longhorns goalkeeper Mia Justus to her first professional contract.[12]
Following the turn of the new year, the Royals took to re-signing their current players. On January 7, Paige Monaghan was extended for three years, while Mandy McGlynn signed a five-year contract two days later.[13][14] On January 10, the Royals announced the signing of Colombian international Ana María Guzmán on loan from Bayern Munich for one season.[15]
Meanwhile, former goalkeeper Carly Nelson spoke out against the Royals on social media, alleging that she was subjected to emotional and psychological abuse in her tenure with the club.[16][17] The Royals caught wind of Nelson's statement and posted a response to her claims one day later.[18][19]
On January 13, the Royals announced two incoming players and three outgoings. The club announced the release both Agnes Nyberg and Michele Vasconcelos after buying out their contracts, as well as the official departure of Hannah Betfort.[20] Later, the Royals revealed the signings of forward Aisha Solórzano and Tatumn Milazzo to bolster their roster.[21][22]
