The 2024–25 season was Chelsea Women's 33rd competitive season and 15th consecutive season in the FA Women's Super League, the top flight of English women's football. Following the departure of manager Emma Hayes at the end of the previous season, Sonia Bompastor was appointed as the new manager on 29 May 2024.^[1] Chelsea competed in the domestic league as five-time defending champions since the 2019–20 season and retained the title for the sixth consecutive time. In doing so, they also became the first WSL team to finish a 22-game season unbeaten and set a record points tally of 60 points.^[2]
