The 2024–25 Toronto Maple Leafs season is the franchise's 108th season (107th season of play) in the National Hockey League. The Maple Leafs currently hold a tie for the longest active playoff streak with their rivals, the Boston Bruins, with both making the playoffs every year since 2017.[1]

Craig Berube was hired as head coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs on May 17, 2024, replacing Sheldon Keefe after their first round exit in the 2024 Stanley Cup playoffs.[2]

On April 2, the ECHL announced that they had terminated the Newfoundland Growlers membership within the ECHL. The Growlers were experiencing financial difficulties and failure to fulfill financial obligations under ECHL Bylaws.[3] The Leafs announced on July 3, that the Cincinnati Cyclones would be their new ECHL affiliate effective immediately.[4]

On August 14, Auston Matthews was named the 26th captain in Maple Leafs history replacing John Tavares who held the position since the 2019–20 season.[5]
