Season summary

Pre-season

Immediately following the 2024 season, the Houston Dash started their preparation for the 2025 NWSL Season. Houston began the offseason by strengthening their roster, signing Delanie Sheehan from NJ/NY Gotham FC on December 4, 2024. The next day, Houston started work to extend contracts to players, signing defender Avery Patterson for another three seasons with the team. On December 6, 2024, Houston made two more roster moves agreeing to mutually terminate Elin Rubensson's contract and offering a contract extension to Kiki Van Zanten] for another two years with a mutual year option. On December 10, 2024, Houston made a flurry of moves as they moved forward towards the 2025 season. They signed Christen Westphal in a trade with San Diego Wave FC, giving up a 2025 international slot and $14,000 in allocation money in the trade. The team also extended contracts on defender Jylissa Harris through the 2027 season with a mutual year option, defender Allysha Chapman through the 2026 season with a mutual year option, and forward Amanda West through the 2026 season with a mutual year contract. Houston also announced the roster decision which included exercising the mutual option on midfielder Sophie Schmidt, unilateral option on goalkeeper Heather Hinz, and contract renewals of forward Michelle Alozie, defender Natalie Jacobs, defender Paige Nielsen, midfielder Bárbara Olivieri, and midfielder Sarah Puntigam. In addition to signings, Houston announced they had agreed to decline the mutual options of forward Paulina Gramaglia, midfielder Andressa, and defender Croix Soto. In addition goalkeeper Erin McKinney and midfielder Havana Solaun were out of contract. Lastly they agreed to mutual contract termination with forward Cece Kizer and midfielder Madison Ayson.
