# 2025 Port Adelaide Football Club season

The 2025 Port Adelaide Football Club season is the club's 29th season in the Australian Football League (AFL) and the 155th year since its inception in 1870. The club is also fielding its reserves men's team in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL) and its women's team in the AFL Women's (AFLW).
Port Adelaide enter the season off the back of preliminary final defeats to Sydney and North Melbourne in the AFL and AFLW respectively, and a last-place finish in the SANFL. The season marks the 13th and final year of Ken Hinkley's tenure as senior coach of the AFL team. In February the club announced Hinkley would finish in the role at the end of the season, and be replaced by former Port Adelaide premiership player Josh Carr. Along with Adelaide, the club will host 12 home AFL games during the season, including a Gather Round fixture against Hawthorn.
