The 2025 Netball Super League season was the twentieth season of the Netball Super League, the elite domestic netball competition in the United Kingdom. Loughborough Lightning were the defending champions, as they won the 2024 Grand final for their second consecutive title and third in four years.
London Pulse won the competition beating Loughborough Lightning in the grand final to claim their inaugural Super League title.
Format The league was revamped for the 2025 season in an effort to fully professionalise the league. The number of teams was decreased from ten to eight with Severn Stars, Strathclyde Sirens, Surrey Storm and Team Bath dropping out to be replaced by newcomers Birmingham Panthers and Nottingham Forest.
In the regular season all eight teams are to play each other twice, home and away. The teams that finish in the top four of the regular season qualify for the semi-finals. The first and second placed teams qualify for the major semi-final where the winner progresses directly to the final. The third and fourth placed teams qualify for the minor semi-final where the winner will face the loser of the major semi-final for a place in the Grand Final.

Squads
The 2025 signing window gave all eight clubs the opportunity to make signings and finalise their squads before the season began. The signing window opened on Monday 1 July 2024 and clubs were given until 5pm on Friday 23 August 2024 to register 10 players. This is different than the 2024 season where each team could register 12 players plus 3 training partners. Also new to the 2025 season is the creation of the Under 23 competition (NXT Gen). Each Super League club also has a Under 23 team in the newly formed Under 23 competition from which they can draw Temporary Replacement Players. Permanent Replacement Players can be drawn from any squad in the league.
