Overview

Forward Madison enters the 2025 season on the heels of what was arguably their best season. In 2024, the team finished 3rd in the USL League One table, their highest finish ever, and reached the semifinals of the USL League One playoffs. Additionally, they were runners-up in the inaugural USL Cup, losing on penalties in the final. [1] The team returns over half of the 2024 roster, including All-USL League One First Team defender and Defender of the Year nominee Mitch Osmond, Goalkeeper of the Year nominee Bernd Schipmann, and All-League One First Team midfielder Devin Boyce, though they did lose club all-time leading goalscorer Christian Chaney to Charlotte Independence. The large core of players returning from the previous year's successful season had Forward Madison considered to be an early preseason favorite to win the 2025 USL League One title. [2] Various power rankings placed Forward Madison in the top half of the league leading up to the start of the season. [3] [4] [5]

The schedule for both the 2025 USL League One season and the 2025 USL Cup were announced on December 19th. [6] In the regular season, Forward Madison will play each team twice, with the exception of Richmond Kickers, Union Omaha, Westchester SC, and Texoma FC, each of whom they will play three times. Forward Madison will be facing USL Championship clubs Indy Eleven and Birmingham Legion FC in the USL Cup; this marks the first time that Forward Madison have played a competitive match against a team in USL Championship since 2019, when they defeated El Paso Locomotive FC and lost to Saint Louis FC in the 2019 U.S. Open Cup, and the first time the team has ever hosted a USL Championship club. [7]

In January, Forward Madison announced a partnership with Brazilian club Amazonas, who were competing in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série B at the time of the announcement. It was the first partnership between a USL League One club and a Brazilian club. As part of this partnership, Amazonas sent forward Adrien Graffin on loan to Madison. [8]
