The 2025 LCK season was the 14th season of the League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK), a South Korean professional esports league for the video game League of Legends. It was the first LCK season under the new three-split structure and competitive calendar introduced by the game's developer Riot Games starting with the 2025 competitive season.

Unlike past seasons, the 2025 LCK season introduced a new format divided into three parts, with the first being the LCK Cup, which will determine the region's lone representative at the 2025 First Stand Tournament. The next two parts are a merged regular season season divided into two halves. The first half will feature the first two rounds of the season, while the second half will feature the last three rounds of the season and the LCK Play-Ins and Playoffs to determine the Season Champion. The LCK Cup ran from 15 January to 23 February, while the regular season began on 2 April and ended on 28 September.

The LCK Cup was won by Hanwha Life Esports, defeating Gen.G with a 3–2 scoreline to qualify for the First Stand Tournament. In the first two rounds of the season, both teams led the standings, but only Gen.G qualified for the 2025 Mid-Season Invitational alongside T1, who defeated Hanwha Life Esports in the final MSI qualification match in a 3–0 sweep.

After the final three rounds, Gen.G topped the standings and became the LCK's first single-season champion, defeating Hanwha Life Esports with a score of 3–1 in the Season Finals. Both teams qualified for the 2025 League of Legends World Championship. KT Rolster and T1 also qualified as the third and fourth seeds respectively.
