The 2025 Union Omaha season is the sixth season in the soccer team's history, all of which have been in USL League One in the third division of American soccer. Union Omaha will play their home games at Werner Park, located in Papillion, Nebraska, United States.

They are the reigning title holders of both the USL League One Players' Shield and the USL League One Cup, having beaten Spokane Velocity in the previous year's final.[1] Union Omaha will also be competing in the USL Cup (known as the USL Jägermeister Cup for sponsorship reasons) and the U.S. Open Cup.

On July 8, longtime manager Dominic Casciato left the club to become the manager of the Tampa Bay Rowdies.[2] He was replaced on an interim basis by assistant Vincenzo Candela.[3]
