←  2024 2026  →

The 2025 Adelaide Football Club season was the Adelaide Crows' 35th season of senior competition in the Australian Football League (AFL). Adelaide's women's team is playing their tenth season in the AFLW, and their reserves team played their eleventh season in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL).

In November 2024, Adelaide unveiled their new logo for the 2025 season. It features a swooping crow, reminiscent of the badge used by the club until 2010. Senior men's and women's teams adopted this logo. For the first time, the club's SANFL team will use the same logo as the senior sides. Slightly altered tri-colours also feature. ^[1]

With their round 13 victory over Brisbane Lions, Adelaide improved on their 8-1-14 record from 2024. The Crows would go on to claim their first finals appearance and first minor premiership since 2017, officially securing first place following the round 24 win over North Melbourne. ^[2] However, Adelaide would go on to lose both of their finals, becoming the first minor premiers in 42 years to exit the finals series in straight sets. ^[3]
