2024–25 DEL season

The 2024–25 Deutsche Eishockey Liga season will be the 31st season since the founding of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga. It will start on 20 September 2024.

Eisbären Berlin are the defending champions. The Augsburger Panther were originally relegated last year, but kept their place since the winning team from the second division did not apply for a license.

Format
The teams will play a double round-robin for 52 games each. After the regular season, places 1 to 6 are qualified for the playoffs while place 7 to 10 will play in the pre-playoffs. The playoffs will be played in a best of seven mode. The last team from the regular season is relegated to DEL2.

Playoffs
The playoffs will start on 9 March 2025.
