The 2025 season will be the sixth season for Nashville SC as a member of Major League Soccer (MLS), the top flight of professional soccer in the United States. It is their eighth overall season, including two years in the second-division USL Championship.

It will be the first full season for head coach B.J. Callaghan, who took over the position in July 2024. The team finished the 2024 season with a 9–9–16 record, their worst in their MLS history, and did not qualify for the MLS Cup playoffs. ^[1] During the offseason, several long-time players were released from their contracts or traded away, including Aníbal Godoy and Brian Anunga—both of whom joined for the inaugural MLS season in 2020. ^[2] Nashville SC will play 34 matches during the 2025 MLS regular season from February to October; matches will be paused from June 14 to 25 during the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup and 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup, both of which are being hosted in the United States. ^[3]
