PFC women begin 2025 season May 9
The Pelicans, in their first WPSL match since winning the 2019 national championship, will host TLH Reckoning from Tallahassee at 6 p.m. Friday, May 9.
The Women’s Professional Soccer League announced most of its 2025 schedule Wednesday, with opening weekend featuring a Gulf Coast Conference matchup between two teams new — or newish — to the competition.
TLH Reckoning will play Pensacola FC at 6 p.m. Friday, May 9 at Ashton Brosnaham Stadium. The Reckoning is playing its first season in the WPSL after playing a season in the USL W League; Pensacola FC, on the other hand, is returning after playing several seasons in other leagues.
The Pelicans played in WPSL from 2011-2019, winning national championships in 2012 (as the Gulf Coast Texans) and 2019. Pensacola were national runners-up in 2017 and 2018.
The WPSL didn’t play in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic; when competition resumed in 2021, the Pelicans had joined the United Women’s Soccer League. Pensacola played in the Gulf Coast Premier League in 2023 and 2024.
The Reckoning and Pelicans play in the Third Coast Division of WPSL’s resurrected Gulf Coast Conference, along with Pensacola FC Academy, Florida Roots (Panama City), Gulf Coast United (Gulfport, Miss.), and Union 10 (Daphne, Ala.)
The Gulf Coast Conference Delta Basin Division includes Baton Rouge United, Hattiesburg FC, LA Krewe Rush (…..), Mississippi Blues SC (…….), and Shreveport United.
Each team in the Third Coast Division will play every other team twice, home and away. The league hadn’t finalized the Delta Basin schedule at this writing.
