On 28 October 2024, the Sandringham Football Club announced that the Southern Saints would be known as the Sandringham Zebras (as of 1 November 2024), consolidating the identities of its men's and women's teams under the one club for the 2025 season.

Beginning this season, the VFLW season will be played between April and August, instead of March to July.
