2024–25 Barnsley F.C. season

The 2024–25 season is the 138th season in the history of Barnsley Football Club and their third consecutive season in League One. In addition to the domestic league, the club would also participate in the FA Cup, the EFL Cup, and the EFL Trophy.

Prior to the season commencing, Barnsley announced that Luca Connell would be the new club captain, replacing Jordan Williams who joined Portsmouth on a free transfer after his contract expired at the conclusion of 2023/24. The returning Marc Roberts was named the vice-captain for the 2024-2025 season.

2024/25 is the third consecutive season in League One for Barnsley after defeat in the playoffs in the previous two seasons.

Despite battling against comparatively poor form at home, Barnsley competed in and around the top six until the turn of the year, looking well set for a third consecutive playoff campaign.

However form then suffered greatly, and after at one point being several points clear of the teams just outside the playoff positions, found themselves down in tenth, trailing the team in sixth, Huddersfield Town, by six points having played a game more than them, by mid-February.

Given Barnsley failed to bring in sufficient numbers of the desperately needed signings they sought in the winter transfer window, in particular to bolster their centre forward ranks; unless they manage to find options amongst free agents, prospects for the rest of the season seem limited to an upper mid-table finish at best, with even this being far from a guarantee; inevitably meaning a continuation of the season upon season decline they have suffered in recent years.

In March 2025, Barnsley F.C released a club statement to announce that Head Coach Darrell Clarke has left the club. Conor Hourihane will take charge of the first-team until the end of the season. He will be assisted by Jon Stead and Martin Devaney alongside Tom Harban.

The club seem destined to be playing in a fourth successive League One campaign in 2025/26.
