With a new season just around the corner, teams from the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) are flocking to the Coachella Valley Invitational for a second successive pre-season.

In 2024, four NWSL clubs (Angel City, Bay FC, Portland Thorns and the San Diego Wave) played matches in Indio, California. Now, for the '25 edition, that number is up to six with the Houston Dash and the Seattle Reign joining as first-time additions.

The Coachella Valley Invitational remains the largest professional soccer preseason event in North America with 14 Major League Soccer and six NWSL clubs taking part this year. Over two weekends, the six NWSL clubs will play two matches each in the beautiful desert surroundings of Empire Polo Club in Indio. The exhibition matches are open to fans.

FOX and Gray Television own the broadcast rights to the Coachella Valley Invitational and are set to show the games on select regional stations within those networks. In addition to those channels, Angel City FC has decided to stream its friendlies on the club's YouTube channel.
