The 2024–25 FNB Botswana Premier League season is the 47th season of the Botswana Premier League, the top-tier football league in Botswana, since its establishment in 1966. The season was planned to start on September 21, 2024, but was postponed to September 28, and then October 4. Jwaneng Galaxy FC are the current title holders from the 2023-24 season.
The season starts with 16 teams even though last season it was introduced that four teams would relegate instead of two. Due to concerns of the participating teams, the BFA decided to remain with 16 teams in the BPL. This season was the first of FNB's three year sponsorship of the league.
At the end of the season, three teams will be relegated into either the Botswana First Division North or the Botswana First Division South.
League changes Eleven Angels, Police XI, and Holy Ghost relegated from the 2023–24 Botswana Premier League. They were replaced by Chadibe, who won the Botswana First Division North and Union Flamingo Santos, who won the playoff final against Motlakase Power Dynamos. Young Stars won the Botswana First Division South, but their Premier League license was acquired by Extension Gunners, which means the team from Lobatse returns to the Premier League after a one-year absence.
Due to financial issues of Masitaoka and VTM FC, their licenses were available for purchase. Mochudi Centre Chiefs acquired the license of Masitaoka, which saw Magosi return to Premier League after their relegation in 2018-19. VTM FC ended up retaining their franchise, and remained in the Premier League.
