The 2024–25 AHL season will be the 89th season of the American Hockey League. The regular season will begin in October 2024, and will end in April 2025. The 2025 Calder Cup playoffs will follow the conclusion of the regular season. 32 of the 33 NHL teams held affiliations with only the deactivated Arizona Coyotes having no such franchise affiliations. Historically, when an NHL team does not have an AHL affiliate, its players are assigned to AHL teams affiliated with other NHL franchises. [1]
