2025 has been a challenging year for NJ/NY Gotham FC. While there have been highs, such as winning the inaugural CONCACAF W Champions Cup, the four-match winless streak in NWSL play that the team currently finds itself in seems to be a little bit closer to the team's level in 2025. While they currently sit in a playoff spot, it is far from a given that they will make the postseason for the third year in a row.
While there was an expectation that 2025 would not be as strong as 2024, this is a bigger drop than even some of the most staunch pessimists would have expected.
