Brianna Martinez

Club career Orlando Pride

Martinez was drafted 17th overall by Racing Louisville FC in the 2023 NWSL Draft but did not sign with the club. She was invited to train with the Orlando Pride as a non-rostered player in the 2023 preseason and agreed to a one-year contract with the option for an additional year. She made her professional debut on April 23, coming on as an 84th-minute substitute for Haley McCutcheon in a 2–0 loss to the Kansas City Current. She made her first start on May 10, playing the full 4–2 loss to the Washington Spirit in the NWSL Challenge Cup. During her rookie season, she made eight regular-season appearances and played in four games (with three starts) in the Challenge Cup. After the season, the Pride exercised her player option.

Martinez made her first regular-season start on March 22, 2024, playing the full 1–1 draw at center back against Angel City FC. She became a regular starter at right back in the early part of the season, except when center back Rafaelle was healthy and pushed Emily Sams to Martinez's position. On June 25, her contract was extended to the end of 2025. On July 21, she suffered a non-contact injury to her left leg during a game against the North Carolina Courage in the NWSL x Liga MX Femenil Summer Cup. After the injury, she did not play for the remainder of the season but appeared on the bench for several games. Orlando was undefeated during her 13 regular-season games that season, including 8 starts. The Pride went on to win its first titles in club history, lifting both the NWSL Shield and NWSL Championship trophies. She made her debut on August 30 and played the entire match in the Ascent's season-opening 2–2 draw with Fort Lauderdale United. On October 18, she scored her first professional goal in a 2–1 win over Brooklyn FC, the Ascent's first road win of the season. After her Orlando contract expired in December, the Ascent made the loan permanent. She finished the season with 23 appearances, including 16 starts, as Carolina placed third in the league. On June 2, 2026, she announced her retirement from professional soccer.

International career

Martinez was called into training camps with the United States under-16 and under-17 national teams in 2015 and 2016 was recognized among the Best XI of an under-16 international friendly tournament.

While in college, she was selected to the roster for the 2020 CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship, which the United States won. She was called up to play friendlies with the under-23 team against NWSL clubs in the 2022 preseason.
