The 2024–25 Utah Hockey Club season is the inaugural season of the NHL's most recent expansion team, the Utah Hockey Club. They play their home games at the Delta Center, shared with the Utah Jazz of the National Basketball Association (NBA).
As part of a deal that rendered the Arizona Coyotes an inactive franchise, Utah was established with the existing roster, staff, and draft picks of the said franchise, in a similar move to the 1995 Cleveland Browns relocation controversy that established the Baltimore Ravens.
The team's first preseason schedule was released on June 20, 2024.[1] |- style="background:#cfc;"| 1 || September 22 || St. Louis || 3–5 || Utah || || Stauber || Wells Fargo Arena || 8,851 || 1–0–0 ||[2] |- style="background:#cfc;"| 2 || September 23 || Los Angeles || 2–3 || Utah || OT || Villalta || Delta Center || 11,131 || 2–0–0 ||[3] |- style="background:#fcc;"| 3 || September 27 || Utah || 2–5 || Vegas || || Stauber || T-Mobile Arena || 17,561 || 2–1–0 ||[4] |- style="background:#cfc;"| 4 || September 29 || Utah || 6–3 || Colorado || || Vejmelka || Ball Arena || 17,392 || 3–1–0 ||[5] |- style="background:#cfc;"| 5 || October 1 || Utah || 3–1 || San Jose || || Ingram || SAP Center || 8,562 || 4–1–0 ||[6] |- style="background:#fcc;"| 6 || October 2 || Utah || 2–5 || Anaheim || || Vejmelka || Honda Center || 10,338 || 4–2–0 ||[7] |- style="background:#cfc;"| 7 || October 5 || Colorado || 1–2 || Utah || || Ingram || Maverik Center || — || 5–2–0 ||[8] |-| colspan="9" style="text-align:center;"|Legend:
