The 2024–25 Daau Super League (also known as the Kotify Daau Super League due to sponsorship reasons) is the top professional league in Daau, since its major rebranding in 2019. The league is set to start on the 20th of August of 2024 and is set to end on May 20th in 2025. Daas City are the defending champions in this edition, winning their second championship and treble in the same season.

Teams will play 26 games in the league this season along with the introduction of the Daau Youth Cup

Format

The following key changes were made to the rules for the 2024–25 season:

1. DSL clubs are now allowed to register a maximum of five foreign players with no age restrictions, of whom at least one shall be of the nationality of an AEFA Member Association. A maximum of four foreign players may be named or fielded in any one match.
2. Following the passing of the Matabese Autonomy bill by both the Dauian and Matabese Assembly, Matabese players without Dauian second nationality shall be treated as foreign players, as a result the AEFA slot may be used for Matabese players.
3. Cheetahs XII will now be permanently located in Sultan Fadli Stadium following the completion of its renovation works
4. Player registration windows will be on 1 October 2024 for the summer window, and 1 February 2025 for the winter window. All teams must submit their teamsheet by the deadline else risk being expelled from the league.
5. Financial reports must also be released to the Daau Football Association on 1 August 2024 for the summer reporting period, and 1 January 2025 for the winter period.

The following key changes were made to the rules since the 2022–23 season:

1. Each team is able to register up to 30 players, a promotion of 5 compared to last season's 25. Each team must also be able to register a minimum of 18 players.
