The 2024–25 season of the Scottish Women's Premier League, also known as ScottishPower Women's Premier League for sponsorship reasons, was the 24th iteration of the top-tier Scottish women's football league, and the third season organised by the Scottish Professional Football League. The division is sometimes referred to as SWPL 1 when distinction from the lower division of the competition, known as SWPL 2, is required.
The season began with the defending champions Celtic hosting Dundee United on 10 August 2024. The final matchday of the regular season was scheduled for 2 March 2025 and the last post-split matchday (32nd game overall) was scheduled for 18 May 2025.
Due to the format changes planned for the 2025–26 season, bringing the number of teams in both the SWPL and SWPL 2 to ten, the 2024–25 season was transitional. The competition format remained unchanged, but no relegation play-off would take place and the three lowest-ranked teams would be relegated to 2025–26 SWPL 2 directly.
For the third season in succession the championship was settled on the final matchday. Challengers Rangers hosted surprise leaders Hibernian at Ibrox Stadium three points behind but with a better goal difference, meaning a victory for the home side would give them the title; however, Hibs won 1–0 to secure their first SWPL title since 2006–07, before the long run of dominance by Glasgow City had begun. The disappointment for Rangers in narrowly missing out on the championship was worsened by being overtaken into second place and qualification for the 2025–26 UEFA Women's Champions League by Glasgow City; holders Celtic had been in contention at the split but finished some way behind in fourth.
At the other end of the table, Dundee United and Queen's Park had seemed doomed for several months and eventually gained only 7 and 12 points respectively. The close battle among the rest of the 'bottom six', particularly between Montrose and Spartans, to avoid becoming the third relegated team was lost by Spartans, who fell out of the top division 21 years after joining the league in 2004 as Whitehill Welfare; in the 2020s they had gradually lost ground to Heart of Midlothian as Hibernian's rivals in Edinburgh.
