The twenty-fifth season of the American crime-drama television series Law & Order: Special Victims Unit was ordered on April 10, 2023, by NBC. Originally slated to premiere in September 2023, the season premiered on January 18, 2024, and concluded on May 16, 2024, following the 2023 Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA strikes. The season consisted of only 13 episodes making it the shortest in the show's history, beating the record previously held by the twenty-second season and produced by Wolf Entertainment and Universal Television; David Graziano is continuing as showrunner, following the departure of Warren Leight at the conclusion of the twenty-third season.
After joining the cast in the previous season, Molly Burnett departed the series following the season finale. On November 28, 2023, it was announced Kelli Giddish would return for the season premiere following her mid-season departure during the twenty-fourth season, and returning as a guest star close to the season finale.
