All statistics correct as of March 22, 2025.

The 2025 USL League One season is the seventh season of USL League One, a professional men's soccer league in the third tier of the United States league system.

Fourteen teams are participating 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]

The regular season was originally scheduled to start on March 8, though it actually started a day earlier on March 7.[9] The 2025 season also includes a new format of the in-season tournament, the USL Cup (known as the USL Jägermeister Cup for sponsorship reasons). It features a group stage and knockout round between all 38 teams in the two professional USL leagues, the USL Championship and the USL League One. The tournament will be played between April and September.[10]

Union Omaha are the defending league champions and Player's Shield winners.
