The 2024–25 season is the 108th season in the history of Southampton and their first season back in the Premier League following their relegation from the Premier League in the 2022–23 season. The club are participating in the Premier League, the FA Cup and the EFL Cup.
After winning the promotion play-offs in May, head coach Russell Martin was sacked as Southampton dropped to the bottom of the league just a few hours after the team lost 5–0 to Tottenham Hotspur on 15 December 2024. Ivan Jurić replaced him on an 18-month contract on 20 December.
On 6 April 2025, Southampton's relegation back to the Championship was confirmed after a 3–1 away defeat to Tottenham, being relegated with 7 games left to play, breaking Derby County's 2007–08 and Huddersfield Town's 2018–19 record of the earliest relegation in Premier League history.
