The 2025 National Premier Leagues is the thirteenth season of the Australian National Premier Leagues football competition. The league competition is played by eight separate state and territory member federations. These divisions are ACT, NSW, Northern NSW, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria and Western Australia.

The eight separate competitions have different durations, with the 2025 NPL Victoria season beginning on 6 February,[1] and the conclusion scheduled for 14 September.[2] Along with a further eight 'Foundation' clubs (NPL teams from Melbourne, Sydney and Wollongong), the Premiers of each member federation's competition will qualify for the 2025 Australian Championship.[3]
