The 2024–25 RFU Championship was the sixteenth season of the RFU Championship, the professional second tier of rugby union in England. It featured twelve English teams. Ealing Trailfinders were the reigning champions, having been refused promotion to the Premiership due to failing to meet minimum standards.

Ealing Trailfinders finished as champions on 17 May following a decisive victory away to Caldy, giving them the title with two games still left to play. Despite winning their second RFU Championship title in a row (and third overall) the minimum standards ruling meant that once again they were ineligible for promotion. Cambridge finished bottom but due to the Championship increasing from 12 to 14 teams for the following season, there was no relegation.
