The 2025 Big West Conference women's soccer tournament was the postseason women's soccer tournament for the Big West Conference, held from November 2 to November 9, 2025. The five–match tournament featured a six–team, single–elimination format consisting of three rounds, with seeding based on regular season conference records. First round matches were hosted by the higher seeds, while the semifinals and final were held at Matador Soccer Field in Northridge, California.
The defending champions were the UC Santa Barbara Gauchos.[1] The Gauchos advanced to the final after defeating UC Irvine and CSUN (Cal State Northridge), but were unable to defend their title, losing to Cal Poly in the championship match.[2] As tournament champions, Cal Poly earned the Big West Conference's automatic berth to the 2025 NCAA Division I women's soccer tournament, where they faced eventual national runners-up Stanford.
The top six teams in the regular season qualified for the tournament, with seeds determined by conference record. Tiebreakers were required to determine the second and third seeds, as well as the fourth and fifth seeds. Cal Poly and Cal State Fullerton both finished the regular season with 6–2–2 records. Cal Poly was awarded the second seed and a first–round bye by virtue of their 2–0 victory over Cal State Fullerton on October 12. Additionally, UC Irvine and UC Santa Barbara both finished with 5–2–3 regular season records. UC Irvine earned the fourth seed by virtue of their 2–0 regular season win over UC Santa Barbara on October 16, and the right to host UC Santa Barbara in the first round.[3]
