The 2024–25 Notre Dame Fighting Irish men's basketball team represented the University of Notre Dame, located in Notre Dame, Indiana, in the 2024–25 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The team was led by head coach Micah Shrewsberry in his second season as head coach and played home games at the on-campus Joyce Center as members of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC).
The Fighting Irish started the season with four straight wins, including a win at Georgetown to begin the season. They then lost to Elon at home before traveling to Paradise, Nevada to participate in the Players Era Festival tournament. They opened the tournament with an overtime loss to Rutgers in the Impact Division. They then lost 65–54 to sixth-ranked Houston in their second game of the tournament. They lost to twenty-first ranked Creighton 80–76, to finish in eighth place in the tournament. They returned to face Georgia in the ACC–SEC Challenge. They lost in Athens 69–48.

The Fighting Irish then went on a four game losing streak in ACC play. They suffered one-point losses against North Carolina and NC State during the run, and lost to fourth-ranked Duke. They turned their fortunes around by going 3–1 over their next four games, with their only loss being a re-match with Syracuse. However, they then won only one game in a six game stretch. They defeated Boston College 97–94 in double-overtime. Losses during the stretch included away games at Florida State and Miami, and a two-point loss at home to Virginia Tech.

Scheduling a game with Le Moyne
Although a December non-conference game against Le Moyne, a team in the second year of a four-year transition to Division I status, may not appear notable at first glance, it finally fulfills a wish expressed by Notre Dame athletic director Moose Krause nearly 70 years earlier. The NCAA had not yet created separate divisions in 1955, but the Associated Press classified basketball teams as either major programs or small colleges, and Le Moyne was in the small college group. However, the Dolphins played a 19-game schedule during the 1954–55 season, finishing 11–8, and more than half of Le Moyne's games were against major programs. The Dolphins were 5–5 in matchups with major programs, including a win over no. 20 Western Kentucky State.[8] Krause was the keynote speaker at an event at Le Moyne after the season, and he said that he hoped a basketball game between Notre Dame and Le Moyne could be arranged in the not too distant future.[9] In the first-ever meeting between the programs, the Fighting Irish went on a 16–2 run over a span of 4:27 to extend their three-point lead to 34–17. The Dolphins were unable to close the gap, and Notre Dame cruised to a 91–62 victory. Tae Davis scored 24 points to lead the Irish and added six rebounds.[10]
