The 2025 Atlanta United FC season will be the ninth season of Atlanta United FC's existence, and the seventeenth year that a professional soccer club from Atlanta, Georgia will compete in the top division of American soccer. Atlanta United play their home games at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Outside of MLS, they will compete in the 2025 Leagues Cup.

On December 20, prior to the 2025 season, United hired Norwegian manager Ronny Deila as the club's new head coach to replace interim manager Rob Valentino.[1] Former midfielder Miguel Almirón returned to Atlanta after several seasons with Newcastle United in the English Premier League. The club then broke the MLS transfer record to sign striker Emmanuel Latte Lath from Middlesbrough for $22 million. United began the regular season with only two wins in their first eleven matches, their worst stretch in team history.[2]
