The 2024–25 Brøndby IF season was Brøndbyernes Idrætsforening's 44th consecutive season in the top division of Danish football, their 35th consecutive season in the Danish Superliga, and their 59th overall as a football club. In addition to competing in the Superliga, Brøndby participated in the Danish Cup.
Head coach Jesper Sørensen began the season in charge for the third consecutive year but was dismissed in December 2024 due to disappointing results. Assistant coach Frederik Birk took over on an interim basis, and on 8 January 2025, the club confirmed his permanent appointment as head coach.
The season covered the period from 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2025. Brøndby concluded the league campaign in third place, earning qualification to the second round second qualifying round of the 2025–26 UEFA Europa Conference League. Their run in the Danish Cup ended at the semi-final stage, marking another season without domestic silverware.
Background and pre-season Brøndby IF entered the 2024–25 season following a third-place finish in the 2023–24 Danish Superliga, with the stated aim of challenging for the league title and qualification for UEFA Champions League football. Significant changes occurred off the pitch prior to the season; notably, sporting director Carsten V. Jensen resigned on 5 October 2024, ending a five-year tenure at the club.
In terms of player recruitment, the primary signing was Austrian goalkeeper Patrick Pentz, who completed a permanent transfer from Bayer Leverkusen after a successful loan period. Pentz, who signed a four-year contract, had been named the club's Player of the Year for 2024. Head coach Jesper Sørensen retained his preferred attacking 4–3–3 formation, built around forward Mathias Kvistgaarden. Additionally, Stijn Spierings was signed on a free, and Mileta Rajović joined on loan to strengthen the squad depth.
Pre-season preparations included a training camp in Austria, where Brøndby recorded mixed results, notably defeating Sparta Prague 5–2 but losing 4–0 to Dynamo Kyiv, highlighting inconsistency that would persist into the competitive season.
