The 2025 Atlanta United 2 season was the team's eighth year of existence as well as their third season in MLS Next Pro, the third tier of the American soccer pyramid. On July 23rd, it was announced that, effective immediately, head coach Steve Cooke would be leaving Atlanta to become the new head coach of Birmingham Legion FC. Assistant coach Jose Silva then took over as interim head coach.[1] Despite a good spell of games during the final stretch of the season playing under interim head coach Silva, Atlanta United 2 fell just short of making their first-ever playoff appearance.
