The defending champions were Leeds Rhinos who won the 2024 Grand Final, defeating Halifax Panthers 52–32.[1]
In December 2024, the RFL announced that the 2025 Super League season would have seven teams following successful applications of Edinburgh Giants and Sheffield Eagles to join the competition. Teams played six fixtures during the regular season, playing each of the other teams once. At the end of the regular season, the top four teams advanced to the play-offs which are a single round robin like the regular season. The top two advance to the Grand Final.[2] On 16 August 2025, Leeds failed to fulfil their round seven match against Halifax and were ruled ineligible to compete in the play-offs.[3][4]
The Grand Final took place at the Manchester Basketball Centre on Sunday, 28 September, and was broadcast live on Sky Sports.[5] Halifax Panthers, who had won the Challenge Cup and finished top of the table, completed the treble with a 42–32 win over London Roosters.[6]

Grand Final
Notes
- Before the play-offs began it was stated in Rugby Leaguer & League Express that points from the regular season would be carried over to the play-off stage,[4] however, this appeared to be erroneous as after round two it was reported as still being possible for Wigan to qualify for the Grand Final[20]
