The2024–25 season wasStoke City's 108th season in theFootball League, and the 48th in thesecond tier.
After keeping Stoke up last seasonSteven Schumacher was given the summer to improve his squad for the 2024–25 campaign, however after only five matches he was surprisingly sacked and replaced by inexperienced Spanish coachNarcís Pèlach.

FormerCoventry City managerMark Robins took over and he was able to keep Stoke up on the final day finishing two points above the relegation zone in 18th position.
