All statistics correct as of 16 March 2025.

The 2024–25 season of the Scottish Women's Premier League, also known as ScottishPower Women's Premier League for sponsorship reasons, is the 24th iteration of the top-tier Scottish women's football league, and the 3rd season organised by the Scottish Professional Football League. The division is sometimes referred to as SWPL 1 when distinction from the lower division of the competition, known as SWPL 2, is required.

The 2024–25 season began with the defending champions Celtic[1] hosting Dundee United on 10 August 2024. The final matchday of the regular season is scheduled for 2 March 2025[2] and the last post-split matchday (32nd game overall) is scheduled for 18 May 2025.[3]

Due to the format changes planned for the 2025–26 season, which will bring the number of teams in both the SWPL and SWPL 2 to ten, the 2024–25 season is transitional. The competition format remains unchanged, but there will be no relegation play-off and the three lowest-ranked teams will be directly relegated to 2025–26 SWPL 2.[4][5]
