Challenge Cup
On 25 June 2024, the RFL announced a change to the Challenge Cup format, totalling 7 rounds compared to the previous 9, with Super League teams entering to play away from home at round 3.
Warrington Wolves were first drawn on 14 January to play Whitehaven R.L.F.C. away in Round 3 following Whitehaven's subsequent Round 2 24–12 victory against the Swinton Lions on 25 January. Following their victory against Whitehaven, Warrington beat the Widnes Vikings 26–16 away on 15 March, qualifying them for the quarter-finals against local rivals St Helens.
After winning 20–12 in the quarter-final, Warrington visited the Totally Wicked Stadium to play the Leigh Leopards in the semi-finals on 11 May. A 21–14 victory over Leigh qualified the Warrington Wolves to play in the 2025 Challenge Cup final at Wembley Stadium against 2023 final runners-up Hull Kingston Rovers. Following a closely-contended match, however, Warrington lost the final 8-6.
