The 2024–25 Håndboldligaen is the 89th season of the Danish Handball League, the top men's handball league in Denmark. A total of fourteen teams contested this season's league. Grindsted GIF Håndbold was promoted from the 1st Division, for the first time in club history.

Aalborg Håndbold won the regular season. KIF Kolding were relegated, when they finished last in the regular season. This was their first relegation in 41 years. Aalborg Håndbold won the title when they beat Skjern Håndbold in the final 2-0 in matches.

GOG Håndbold qualified for the EHF Champions League, after Aalborg Håndbold won both the regular season and the championship, as the qualification therefore went to the second placed team in the regular season. After the season Skjern Håndbold appealed GOG's qualification to the EHF Champions League, claiming that since they reached the final, they were entitled to Denmark's second spot in the tournament. Danish Handball Federation later denied the appeal.
