The 2024–25 season was the 10th in the history of Bali United Football Club and the club's ninth consecutive season in the top flight of Indonesian football. The club participated only in the Liga 1 as they did not qualify for any AFC nor AFF club competitions, and the Piala Indonesia was not held again this season. The championship series was not implemented in the Liga 1 starting this season.
It was the first season since 2015 without their captain Fadil Sausu, who left the club after his contract expired. With the departures of Fadil, only two players remained from the first generation of Bali United, Ricky Fajrin and Yabes Roni. They also lost their all-time top goalscorer, Ilija Spasojević.
This was also Bali United's final season under Stefano Cugurra, who announced his departure at the season's end on 18 April 2025.
