All statistics correct as of 28 March 2025.

The 2024–25 season was the 79th season in the history of Kotwica Kołobrzeg, and the club's first ever in the I liga. In addition to the domestic league, the team participated in the Polish Cup. Manager Ryszard Tarasiewicz departed on 10 January 2025 and Piotr Tworek was appointed on 13 January 2025.

Kotwica Kołobrzeg finished 16th out of 18, resulting in relegation back to II liga at the end of the campaign. Kotwica's application for a license to compete in II liga for the 2025–26 season was denied by the PZPN Licensing Committee on grounds of failure to meet financial criteria (e.g. F.01, F.03–F.05), and the club did not appeal the decision within the five‑day window.[3] On 23 June 2025, a day after releasing all players and coaching staff via e‑mail, the club formally filed for insolvency and entered liquidation, ceasing all first-team operations. In the aftermath, local supporters and activists founded a phoenix club under the name Morski Klub Sportowy "Kotwica" Kołobrzeg, which retained the original crest and colours, and was admitted to the Klasa okręgowa (sixth tier) for the 2025–26 season.[4]
