The 2024–25 season was the 147th season in the history of Grimsby Town Football Club and their third consecutive season in League Two. In addition to the domestic league, the club would also participate in the FA Cup, the EFL Cup, and the EFL Trophy.

Ahead of this season, Umbro were announced as the new kit provider for the next three seasons,[1] replacing previous supplier Macron. Umbro produced three new kits for the team as well as a range of retro-feel training wear.

This was the first season of a new 5-year broadcasting deal between the EFL and Sky Sports which guaranteed to show 20+ games live for each EFL team across the 2024-25 season including league matches, all EFL Cup games and all EFL Trophy games via a new channel called 'Sky Sports+'.[2]

They finished the season in 9th place, narrowly missing out on the play-offs on the final day of the season.[3]
