The 2024–25 PLDT High Speed Hitters season was the seventh season of the PLDT High Speed Hitters and fourth in the Premier Volleyball League (PVL).
In the All-Filipino Conference, the High Speed Hitters started the season strong by winning their first three matches before losing to Chery Tiggo on December 3, 2024. The loss to the Crossovers started a slump where the team only won one out of the next four matches, but the team made up for it by winning their last four matches, including a five-set win over the Creamline Cool Smashers on February 15, 2025. The team finished fourth with an 8–3 record and 23 points. After beating the Zus Coffee Thunderbelles in the qualifying round, the team was bound for the final round where they were swept in two matches by the Choco Mucho Flying Titans.
PLDT qualified for the 2025 AVC Women's Volleyball Champions League as a wild card participant. In Pool D, the team first beat the Queensland Pirates from Australia in straight sets before losing to Thailand's Nakhon Ratchasima VC in a close five-set match. The team ended their run in the tournament against Zhetysu VC from Kazakhstan.
