# 2024–25 Bali United F.C. season

The 2024–25 season is the 10th in the history of Bali United Football Club and the club's ninth consecutive season in the top flight of Indonesian football. The club is participating only in the Liga 1 as they are not qualified for any AFC nor AFF club competitions and the Piala Indonesia will not be held again this season. The championship series is not implemented in the Liga 1 starting this season.
It is the first season since 2015 without their captain Fadil Sausu, who left the club after his contract expires. With the departures of Fadil, only two players left from the first generation of Bali United, Ricky Fajrin and Yabes Roni. They also lost their all-time top goalscorer, Ilija Spasojević.
