The 2024–25 South African Premiership is the 29th consecutive season of the South African Premiership. It is known as the Betway Premiership for sponsorship reasons, after the premature end of the sponsorship from the league's previous sponsor, DSTV, and also commonly referred to as the PSL after the governing body.[1] The season runs from 14 September 2024 and the league portion concluded in May 2025.

Mamelodi Sundowns won the title for the eighth consecutive year with four games to spare, the streak starting in the 2017-18 season.[2]

In April 2025, the PSL's Board of Governors, consisting of the 15 Premiership teams (excluding Royal AM), and 16 National First Division teams, voted to expel Royal AM from the league.[3] The club had not played any of their fixtures since December 2024 following a preservation order by the South African Revenue Service over unpaid taxes.[4] All of their results in the season until then were expunged from the record.
