The quest to lift the CPL Shield as the 2025 Regular Season Winners and earn an automatic berth in the Concacaf Champions Cup begins earlier than ever before in 2025. All eight home openers, which were announced by the League earlier this week, will be contested over a 20-day span in the month of April. It is the first time in League history that every home opener will be played in the first calendar month of the season.
The balanced regular season schedule will see each team will meet all seven of its opponents twice at home and twice on the road, for 14 home matches and 14 away matches.
Playoff berths and postseason seeding will be confirmed on Saturday, Oct. 18 during The Outcome!, which will see all eight clubs kick off in unison for just the second time in the League’s existence. The regular season finale will kick off at 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT and the top five teams at the end of the day will advance to the 2025 CPL Playoffs.
The road to the North Star Cup will begin on Wednesday, Oct. 22 and will once again see competing clubs contest the League’s existing five-team playoff format, which puts added emphasis on the regular season standings and gives an advantage to the teams that perform best over the 28-game schedule. The 2025 CPL Final to be played November 8 or 9, depending on which club earns the right to host the marquee match.
