}}The 2025 Indy Eleven season is the current season for Indy Eleven, a professional soccer club based in Indianapolis, Indiana. It is the club's twelfth season of existence, their twelfth consecutive season in the second tier of American soccer, and their eighth season in the USL Championship. The team is also participating in the U.S. Open Cup for the 10th time and the interleague USL Cup for the first time.
Background
The 2024 season was a historic success for Indy Eleven. The first season under new head coach Sean McAuley, the club finished in 4th place in the USL Championship Eastern Conference, their best league finish since 2019, and clinched their first home playoff game since 2019. The team achieved a club record 12-game unbeaten streak in all competitions from their 1–0 U.S. Open Cup win over Chicago Fire FC II on April 17 to a 1–0 league win over San Antonio FC on June 15.{{Cite web |title=USL Championship Standings |url=https://www.indyeleven.com/usl-championship-standings/ |access-date=2024-12-20 |website=Indy Eleven |language=en-US}} Midfielder Jack Blake and forward Augustine Williams each scored a club-leading 10 league goals, and Williams' 13 total goals were the highest for the team since Éamon Zayed's record 16 goals in 2016.{{Cite web |title=2024 Player Stats |url=https://www.indyeleven.com/player-stats/ |access-date=2024-12-20 |website=Indy Eleven |language=en-US}}

The 2025 edition of the USL Cup is a professional soccer tournament held between teams in USL Championship and USL League One. Teams are split into six groups of six to seven teams; each team will play two teams in their group at home, and two others away. The teams winning their group, along with the two teams that scored the most goals among those that did not win their group, will move to a single-elimination knockout round.
The group stage of the USL cup will be played from April 26 to the weekend of July 26. Teams are divided into six regional groups and play two regional opponents at home and the other two away. Indy Eleven was placed into group 3, competing against fellow USL Championship sides Birmingham Legion and FC Tulsa as well as USL League One clubs Chattanooga Red Wolves, Forward Madison, and One Knoxville. The winner of the group stage in each group will advance to the knockout stage with several runners-up qualifying via a wild card.
Indy's first group stage match, an away game against Forward Madison FC, resulted in an 0–4 victory.{{Cite web |title=Recap-MAD 0:4 IND |url=https://www.indyeleven.com/news/2025/04/26/recap-mad-04-ind/ |access-date=2025-04-28 |website=Indy Eleven |language=en-US}}
