The 2024–25 Deutsche Eishockey Liga season was the 31st season since the founding of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga. It started on 19 September 2024.
Eisbären Berlin were the defending champions and captured the title again with a win over the Kölner Haie. The Augsburger Panther were originally relegated last year, but kept their place since the winning team from the second division did not apply for a license.
Format The teams played a double round-robin for 52 games each. After the regular season, places one to six were qualified for the playoffs while place seven to ten played in the pre-playoffs. The playoffs were played in a best of seven mode. The last team from the regular season was relegated to DEL2.
