Despite not winning the NWSL Championship, the Kansas City Current finished the 2025 regular season on top of the league with a record of 21-3-2. The Orlando Pride seized the opportunity to acquire one of their top defenders for the home squad.
The Current’s wins nearly double the 12 tallied by the second-place Washington Spirit, who made the 2025 league final match. They lost to league champion Gotham City FC.
Defender Hailie Mace leaves the Current squad, where she’s played since their first season in 2021. In her first full season, she made the NWSL Best XI Second Team.
