The 2024–25 season is DPMM's 11th season[1] in the top flight of Singaporean football, the Singapore Premier League in which the club will also compete in the Singapore Cup.
In addition, the club will also enter a second team in the 2024–25 Brunei Super League, which is composed of mostly the under-20 team that won the FABD Under-20 Youth League earlier in the year.[2] [3]
The 2024–25 Singapore Premier League season will be the first season to be played over a winter schedule across two years. DPMM played a series of friendlies at the Hassanal Bolkiah National Stadium in which they were finally allowed to use the stadium after the conclusion of renovations since 2021.
On 6 April, DPMM played a friendly match against Brunei Super League club MS ABDB in which the club won 4–1. DPMM than played another pre-season friendly match against China League One club Guangxi Pingguo Haliao at home where new signing Gabriel Gama and Miguel Oliveira scored in the match alongside Azwan Ali Rahman, which ended 3–1.[4]
On 19 April, DPMM along with Singaporean club Balestier Khalsa and Laotian club Young Elephants were invited by Malaysia Super League club Selangor to participate in the 2024 Selangor Asia Challenge pre-season mini tournament on 26–28 April.[5] DPMM registered a 4–0 loss to the hosts and a 3–3 draw against Balestier, which placed them in third for the tournament.[6] [7]
On 30 April, a DPMM FC selection played an exhibition game against former English Premier League stars at the imagine Football Fiesta.[8] The game ended 4–2 to the home team.[9]
DPMM started brightly with two wins in as many games in May,[10] but technical difficulties at their Hassanal Bolkiah National Stadium home ground forced them to play what was to be the first Singapore Premier League fixture to be held away from Singapore since 2021 at Jalan Besar Stadium instead, against Lion City Sailors which they lost 0–2.[11] [12] The same week, they managed to draw 3–3 against the visiting Geylang International after finally managing to play at their home stadium.[13]
On 12 June, DPMM announced that Patrick Flottmann had suffered a ruptured ACL which will keep him away for a significant amount of the season.[14]
On 5 July, DPMM announced that head coach Rui Capela was leaving the club due to personal reasons, ahead of a 4–2 away loss to Balestier Khalsa.[15] He was replaced by Jamie McAllister four days after the announcement.[16]
The club endured a nine-match winless streak from 18 June, picking up only three points all at their home ground, until the fixture against Geylang International on 24 August where they recorded a 2–4 away win.[17] [18]
DPMM produced their best performance of the season so far in a 3–2 win at their home ground against BG Tampines on 22 September, ending the Stags' unbeaten record while also ushering their first win of the season at the Hassanal Bolkiah National Stadium.[19]
After scoring only six goals in 14 matches, Mexican import striker Julio Cruz was released by the club on 31 October 2024.[20]

On 30 April, an exhibition game was held in conjunction with the 40th National Day of Brunei between DPMM and former English Premier League players, organised by imagine and Oceanus Media Global.[31]
DPMM FC fielded a mixture of current local players and their backroom management staff, including Ali Momin, one of the club's founding members. The EPL Legends also featured two new youthful DPMM signings, one of which was Safwan Zawawi Sazalee who converted a penalty against his current club.
