The 2025 Forward Madison FC season is the seventh season in the soccer team's history, where they compete in USL League One of the third division of American soccer.

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.

The schedule for both the 2025 USL League One season and the 2025 USL Cup were announced on December 19th. 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.
