The 2024–25 season was the 118th season in the history of Venezia FC. It was their first season back in the top league after spending two years in Serie B.[1] In addition to the domestic league, the team participated in the First round. On 26 June Venezia introduced first team coach Eusebio Di Francesco until the end of the 2025–26 season.

Venezia were relegated to the second division after a loss to Juventus on the final day of a season in which they failed to secure a single away victory.
