Team changes

Ten teams participated in the league: four from the previous season, four given direct entry from the abandoned 2023–24 Dhaka Senior Division League, and Dhaka Rangers FC, who entered after fulfilling professional league licensing criteria. Farashganj SC and Uttara FC were allowed entry after their relegation was reversed,^[3] but Uttara withdrew due to ownership issues. Victoria SC from the Second Division initially expressed interest but failed to obtain a professional league license. Additionally, Somaj Kallyan KS Mugda, also permitted direct entry from the abandoned Senior Division League, chose not to participate due to ownership complications.^[4] On 26 February 2025, NoFeL SC announced their withdrawal after failing to complete player registration on the final day of the extended transfer window.^[5]
