The 2024–25 season was the 108th season in the history of Southampton, and the club's first season back in the Premier League since the 2022–23 campaign, following their promotion from the Championship in the previous season. In addition to the domestic league, the club participated in 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.[4] Ivan Jurić replaced him on an 18-month contract on 20 December.[5]
On 6 April 2025, Southampton were relegated to the Championship following a 3–1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur. They were relegated after 31 games, breaking Derby County's 2007–08 and Huddersfield Town's 2018–19 record for the earliest relegation in Premier League history.[6] The next day, Southampton announced that Ivan Jurić had left his role as manager by mutual consent with Simon Rusk taking interim charge for the last seven games of the season.[7]
