Utah spent the offseason extending contracts to forward Paige Monaghan and goalkeeper Mandy McGlynn and exercising Brecken Mozingo's option for 2026. The club said farewell to midfielder Agnes Nyberg, forward Michelle Vasconcelos, and forward Hannah Betford. All three became free agents and could sign with other clubs. Betford eventually signed with the North Carolina Courage. Six players from the 2024 roster also would not return for 2025, the club announced at the end of the 2024 season: Zoe Burns (defender), Cam Tucker (forward), Carly Nelson (goalkeeper), Shaelan Murison (forward), Darielle O’Brien (defender), and Julia Grosso (defender).
