Fourteen teams will participate in the 2025 season. Five teams, AV Alta FC,[1] FC Naples,[2] Portland Hearts of Pine,[3] Texoma FC,[4] and Westchester SC,[5] joined as expansion franchises. Lexington SC left to join USL Championship,[6] Central Valley Fuego FC voluntarily left the league.[7] The franchise agreement for the Northern Colorado Hailstorm FC was terminated when its owners filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.[8]
