The 2025 Phoenix Mercury season is the 28th season for the Phoenix Mercury of the Women's National Basketball Association, and the second season under general manager, Nick U'Ren, and head coach, Nate Tibbetts. It will be the first season since 2012 without 11-year veteran and 2014 WNBA champion Brittney Griner under contract, signing with the Atlanta Dream in free agency. It will also be the first season following the retirement of 3-time WNBA champion and WNBA all-time leading scorer Diana Taurasi who spent all 20 of her WNBA seasons (2004–2014, 2016–2024) with the franchise.
