The 2025 NWSL Championship will take place at PayPal Park in San Jose, Calif., on Nov. 22, the league announced Friday.
The NWSL has played its title match at a predetermined location since 2015. ESPN reported that PayPal Park had been the clear favorite since the start of the bidding process.
The 18,000-seat facility opened in 2015 and serves as the home field for the NWSL’s Bay FC and the San Jose Earthquakes of MLS.
“We’re thrilled to bring the NWSL Championship back to the West Coast and to a region with as rich a history in women’s soccer as the Bay Area,” NWSL commissioner Jessica Berman said.
“This community’s passion for the game, combined with the excitement surrounding one of our newest teams in Bay FC, makes it the perfect setting to celebrate the league’s top talent and crown our next champion.”
Last season, the Orlando Pride won the trophy with a 1-0 win against the Washington Spirit at CPKC Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.
