The 2024–25 Women's England Hockey League season is the 2024–25 season of England's field hockey league structure and England Hockey Women's Championship Cup for women. The season started on 21 September 2024. Surbiton were the defending league champions and Beeston would defend the cup.
Reading won the league title but the England Hockey Women's Championship Cup was not completed for the first time in its history, due to a lack of organisation from England Hockey and the apparent lack of interest from clubs. The future of the cup was not known.
The most successful women's club of all time Slough were relegated to the conference leagues after a poor season.
Format Phase 1 - 11 matches per club determining the top six and bottom six clubs for phase 2. Phase 2 - 5 additional matches per club determining the top eight and bottom four clubs for phase 3. Phase 3 - 3 additional matches per club determining the top four to progress to league finals weekend and the bottom two to be relegated.
