The 2024–25 season was Al-Nassr's 49th consecutive season in the top flight of Saudi football and 69th year in existence as a football club. The club participated in the Pro League, the King's Cup, the AFC Champions League Elite, and the Super Cup.
The season covers the period from 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2025.
Overview This season saw the departure of Abdullah Madu who had been at the club for 17 years.
On 17 September, Al-Nassr terminated the contract of head coach Luís Castro following a slow start to the season.
On 1 January 2025, Majid Al-Jam'an replaced Guido Fienga as the club's Executive Director with Fienga becoming the club advisor.
Al-Nassr sold Seko Fofana in the winter window for €20,000,000 to the French side Rennes, making it the biggest sale outside the Saudi Pro League, although higher sales have been made within the league itself.
