The 2025 Sporting Kansas City season was the 30th season of the team's existence in Major League Soccer (MLS) and the 15th year played under the Sporting Kansas City moniker. The team began their season with a CONCACAF Champions Cup match against Inter Miami CF on February 18, 2025. They were eliminated in the first round of the competition. After five losses in their first six MLS matches, Sporting Kansas City fired head coach Peter Vermes on March 31 after 15 seasons with the club. He was replaced by assistant coach Kerry Zavagnin as the interim head coach.
Due to their participation in the Champions Cup, Sporting Kansas City did not play in the 2025 U.S. Open Cup but did not qualify for the 2025 Leagues Cup. They instead sent Sporting Kansas City II to play in the Open Cup alongside several other MLS Next Pro teams.
