The 2024–25 Malaysia Cup (Malay: Piala Malaysia 2024–25), officially known as the Unifi Piala Malaysia 2024–25 for sponsorship reasons, was the 98th edition of Malaysia Cup tournament organised by the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) and the Malaysian Football League (MFL). This is the first season of the tournament to have a two-year schedule, since the 2007–08 season.[1][2]

Johor Darul Ta'zim were the defending champions, having beaten Terengganu 3–1 to secure a 4th title in the previous season's final.[3][4]
