The 2025 Big Sky Conference women's soccer tournament was the postseason women's soccer tournament for the Big Sky Conference that was held from November 5 to 9, 2025. ^[1] The five-match tournament took place at the South Campus Stadium in Missoula, the home ground of regular season champions Montana. The six-team single-elimination tournament consisted of three rounds based on seeding from regular season conference play. Sacramento State were the defending champions. ^[2] However, Sacramento State failed to defend their title, as they finished last in the regular season standings and failed to qualify for the tournament. The tournament was won by Montana, who defeated Weber State 4−2 on penalties in the final. ^[3] It was the eighth title for Montana and the fourth title for head coach Chris Citowicki since his appointment in 2018. ^[4]

As tournament champions, Montana earned the Big Sky's automatic berth into the 2025 NCAA Division I women's soccer tournament.

Seeding

The top six teams in the regular season earned a spot in the tournament. Teams were seeded based on regular season conference records, with the first and second seeds receiving a bye into the semifinals. No tiebreakers were required as the top six teams in the conference all finished with unique conference records. ^[5]
