# 2024–25 Gibraltar Football League

The 2024–25 Gibraltar Football League season is the sixth season of the Gibraltar Football League in Gibraltar (and third under its current name), and the 126th season of football on the territory overall. Lincoln Red Imps are the reigning champions, winning their fourth successive title on the final day of the season with a late draw against title rivals St Joseph's. Due to the league's fall down the UEFA coefficient rankings, this season only 2 teams qualified for the UEFA Conference League.
The winners will qualify for the 2025–26 UEFA Champions League first qualifying round. The runners-up and Rock Cup winners will qualify for the 2025–26 UEFA Conference League first qualifying round.

## Format

The 2024–25 season is set to continue with the same format used the previous season. Instead of playing one round of fixtures before splitting, teams will instead play each other twice for a total of 20 games this season. After the second round of games, the top 6 enter the GFL Championship Group, where each team plays each other once to decide the league champion. However, the Challenge Group has been scrapped.
Due to the reconstruction of Victoria Stadium, games will be played at the Europa Sports Park this season.

## Teams

On 13 May, the Gibraltar FA released the licensing awards for the 2024–25 season, following changes to their licensing criteria. Receiving the UEFA Club License were Lincoln Red Imps, St Joseph's, FCB Magpies and Lions Gibraltar. The GFA Gold License was awarded to Europa Point, Lynx, Europa and Mons Calpe. College 1975, Glacis United and Manchester 62 all received the GFA Silver License.
