The 2024–25 Toronto Maple Leafs season was the franchise's 108th season (107th season of play) in the National Hockey League (NHL).
Craig Berube was hired as head coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs on May 17, 2024, replacing Sheldon Keefe after their first-round exit in the 2024 Stanley Cup playoffs.
On April 2, the ECHL announced that they had terminated the membership of Toronto's affiliate, the Newfoundland Growlers. The Growlers were experiencing financial difficulties and failure to fulfill financial obligations under ECHL rules. The Maple Leafs announced on July 3, that the Cincinnati Cyclones would be their new ECHL affiliate.
On August 14, Auston Matthews was named the 26th captain in Maple Leafs history replacing John Tavares who held the position since the 2019–20 season.
On April 2, 2025, the Maple Leafs clinched a playoff berth for the ninth consecutive season, after a win over the Florida Panthers. They held the longest active playoff appearance streak at the time, making the playoffs every year since 2017 after the Boston Bruins (previously tied with them for the streak) failed to qualify for the 2025 playoffs. Later, on April 15, the Maple Leafs clinched the Atlantic Division championship with a 4–0 win over the Buffalo Sabres. This marked the first time that the team won the Atlantic Division since the league realigned prior to the 2013–14 season, their first division championship since winning the temporary North Division during the COVID-19 pandemic shortened 2020–21 season, and their first standard 82-game regular season division championship since the 1999–2000 season. This season also saw the Leafs record only four overtime losses, which is the fewest total since 2003–04 and the lowest in the salary cap era.
In the first round of the playoffs, the Maple Leafs played the Ottawa Senators for the first time since the 2004 playoffs, reviving the fierce Battle of Ontario rivalry fought over four series in the early 2000s. Toronto won all four series; however, Ottawa won all three of its games and swept the season series against Toronto this regular season. The Maple Leafs defeated the Senators in six games, advancing to the second round where they lost to the eventual Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers in seven games, marking the seventh consecutive game seven loss for the Maple Leafs. This extended the team's record-breaking Stanley Cup drought to 57 seasons (58 years).
In the process, the Maple Leafs lost a playoff series to an eventual Stanley Cup champion for the first time since 2000 when they lost to the New Jersey Devils. Their streak of 23 seasons (not counting the 2004–05 lockout) without losing to an eventual champion was the longest in NHL history.
