The 2025 Besta deild karla is the 114th season of top-flight Icelandic Football. It is the fourth season following the league's rebrand as Besta deild karla.[1]

Teams

The league consisted of twelve teams: the top ten teams from the previous season, and two teams promoted from the 1. deild karla. Breiðablik entered the season as defending champions after winning their seventh title during the previous season.[2]

The promoted teams were 2024 1. deild karla champions ÍBV (promoted after a single-season absence), and play-off winners Afturelding (promoted to the top division for the first time in their history). They replaced the 2024 Besta deild karla bottom two teams, HK and Fylkir.
