The reigning champions entering the season are Gloucester-Hartpury, who claimed their second league title after winning the 2024 final.
The 2024–25 edition of Premiership Women's Rugby is being contested by the same nine clubs which started the 2023–24 season. No team was brought in to replace Worcester Warriors, who withdrew from the league shortly before the beginning of the previous season.

The season format was announced on 18 June 2024. The schedule is shortened from the previous season, to give national team players more time to rest and prepare for the 2025 Rugby World Cup.[3] [4]
As in previous seasons, the top four teams in the league table, following the conclusion of the regular season, will contest the play-off semi-finals in a 1st vs 4th and 2nd vs 3rd format, with the higher ranking team having home advantage. The two winners of the semi-finals then meet in the final on 16 March 2025.
Note: Flags to the left of player names indicate national team as has been defined under World Rugby eligibility rules, or primary nationality for players who have not yet earned international senior caps. Players may hold one or more non-WR nationalities.
