The 2024–25 Crystal Palace F.C. (Women) season was the club's 32nd in existence, and their inaugural season as a top flight club having gained promotion to the Women's Super League, the highest level of the football pyramid, for the first time as 2023–24 Women's Championship winners. Along with competing in the WSL, the club also contested two domestic cup competitions: the FA Cup and the League Cup.
On 28 February, Crystal Palace sacked promotion-winning head coach Laura Kaminski with the team sat bottom of the table. Leif Smerud was announced as successor the following day. His most recent role had been as interim head coach of the Norway men's under-21 national team until 2023.
Crystal Palace's relegation from the Women's Super League was confirmed after only one season in the top flight. A heavy 7–1 defeat to West Ham United on 27 April 2025 confirmed their status with two games remaining and seven points adrift of Aston Villa in 11th place.
Squad
Preseason Crystal Palace travelled to Salt Lake City for a week-long training camp at the Utah Royals training facility before playing them in a friendly. A further five preseason friendlies were confirmed by the club following their return to the UK, with Palace's trip to Bristol City the only one open to the public.
