# 2024–25 Newcastle United F.C. season

The 2024–25 season is the 132nd season in the history of Newcastle United Football Club, and their eighth consecutive season in the Premier League. In addition to the domestic league, the club also participated in the FA Cup and the EFL Cup.
On 16 March 2025, Newcastle defeated Liverpool in the final of the EFL Cup, winning their maiden trophy in this tournament, first major trophy since 1969 and first domestic trophy in 70 years. This means Newcastle is assured to play in Europe next season at least in the 2025–26 UEFA Conference League, but may qualify for the Champions League or Europa League via Premier League position.
