The 2024–25 season of Brooklyn FC was the team's inaugural season as a professional women's soccer team and as well as the first for the USL Super League (USLS), one of two leagues to be in the top tier of women's soccer in the United States.

During the fall half of the season, Brooklyn FC played at Commisso Soccer Stadium on the campus of Columbia University in Manhattan,[1] whereas during the spring season they were able to play at their home in Maimonides Park.[2] The club was forced to play in Manhattan due to issues installing the artificial pitch in Maimonides Park, which is a multi-purpose stadium and also hosts baseball.[3]

Additionally, the club had three managers throughout the course of the season, going from interim coach Kristen Sample to head coach Jess Silva in September 2024,[4] before she was relieved of her duties in April 2025 due to lackluster performance.[5]
